In this study,the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression therapy on neuropathic pain and quality of life in patients with neuropathic pain due to type 2 diabetes was investigated
The investigators conducted our research from 50 patients with type 2 diabetes of 5-20 years, who received pregabalin treatment with diabetic neuropathy with consent form between 40-75 years.The investigators divided the patients into two equal groups , some of the patients were given an intermittent pneumatic compression program at a pressure of 35 mmhg for 30 min to the lower extremity for 10 days of extreme alternation in our clinic and pregabalin treatment was continued,only pregabalin treatment of the other group was continued. VAS, PQAS, LANSS, SF-36 were evaluated.The evaluation was done before the treatment, at the end of the intermittent pneumatic compression treatment(approximately 2 weeks after the start of the treatment) and 3 months later.

| The Leeds assessment of neuropathic symptoms and signs(LANSS) | The Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs Pain Scale (LANSS) comprises of a 7-item pain scale, including the sensory descriptors and items for sensory examination. Out of the seven items in the Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs Pain Scale (LANSS), five are symptom related and two are examination items. On the LANSS Pain Scale, a score of 12 or more was classified as neuropathic pain, and a score under 12 was classified as nociceptive pain. The intensity of pain at the time of interview was recorded on a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) (0, no pain; 10, unbearable pain). | The evaluation was done before the treatment, at the end of the intermittent pneumatic compression treatment(approximately 2 weeks after the start of the treatment) and 3 months later. |
| Pain quality rating scale(PQAS) | The Pain Quality Assessment Scale (PQAS) is an adjusted version of the validated Neuropathic Pain Scale and includes 20 pain qualities and descriptors. PQAS asks respondents to rate the severity of each of 20 pain (quality and spatial) descriptor domains by using 0 to 10 numeric rating scales, in which 0 "no pain" or "not [sensation/item]" and 10 "the most [descriptor] pain sensation imaginable. | The evaluation was done before the treatment, at the end of the intermittent pneumatic compression treatment(approximately 2 weeks after the start of the treatment) and 3 months later. |
| Visual Analog Scale(VAS) | . The intensity of pain at the time of interview was recorded on a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) (0, no pain; 10, unbearable pain). | The evaluation was done before the treatment, at the end of the intermittent pneumatic compression treatment(approximately 2 weeks after the start of the treatment) and 3 months later. |

| 36-Item Short Form Health Survey(SF-36) | The SF-36 measures eight domains: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health, and has two summary scores (physical and mental). For each quality of life domain tested, item scores were coded, summed, and transformed into a scale from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) using the standard SF-36 scoring algorithms. Physical and mental summary component scale scores were also calculated using algorithm described by the developers |
