Abstract：Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of spread moxibustion in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, to provide reference for clinical treatment. Methods 140 patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy admitted to Qinhuangdao Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2014 to December 2016 were selected as the subjects, according to random number table, all the patients were divided into two groups, with 70 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with the conventional therapy, the control group was treated with Mecobalamin, based on the treatment of control group, the observation group was treated with spread moxibustion. After 2 courses of treatment, the clinical efficacy, symptom score, nerve conduction and adverse reaction rate were compared between the two groups. Results After 2 courses of treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 90.00%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (71.43%), the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05); the improvement of cold foot, numbness of lower limb, lower limb pain and sense like ants climbing in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05); the symptom scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05); the nerve conduction velocity of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05); there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Compared with conventional western medicine treatment, moxibustion therapy can significantly improve the clinical curative effect of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and nerve conduction velocity, with no obvious adverse reactions, it is worthy of clinical attention.
