Abstract

prevalence of diabetic polyneuropathy and functional limitation due to carpal tunnel syndrome in type 2 diabetes and their association with demographic factors in twin cities. Background: Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and functional limitation due to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) represent two common complications associated with type 2 diabetes, significantly impacting the quality of life for affected individuals. DPN involves damage to peripheral nerves, resulting in symptoms ranging from tingling and numbness to pain and muscle weakness. On the other hand, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which is defined by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, can cause numbness, weakness, and reduced function in the hands. Aims and Objectives: This study's main goals are to determine the prevalence of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and functional limitations brought on by carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in people with type 2 diabetes in the Twin Cities and to examine the relationships between demographic factors (such as age, gender, and marital status) and the prevalence of DPN and functional limitations in the study population. Materials and methods: Using a convenient technique for sampling, a cross-sectional survey was conducted. Using the Open Epi tool, a sample size of 384 was determined. The questionnaire was filled out by 384 participants in total, and there were no non-respondents. From the study's study setting, which included both public and private setups, data were gathered between June and September. Individuals with type 2 diabetes were among the target population. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire and the Douleur- Neuropathique-4 questionnaire served as the research tools. Data analysis: Data analysis was done on an IBM SPSS sheet. Results: 312 subjects (81.3%) out of 384 got DN4>4=positive results. With a P value of 0.01, the relationship between age and neuropathy turns out to be extremely significant. Gender and neuropathy were found to be associated, with women experiencing higher neuropathy and more functional restrictions. Conclusion: As a result, our study discovered important details on the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in people with type 2 diabetes, showing that it is in fact more common.
