Purpose To observe the clinical effect of combined acupuncture and medicament with “tonifying the kidney to remove obstruction in meridians” on diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Methods 104 DPN patients were randomly paired by the stratified sampling method and divided into acupuncture medicament group and control group, 52 cases for each. Results After 2 months' treatment, the markedly effective rate was 51.9% and the total effective rate 88.5% in the acupuncture medicament group. Both were higher than those in the control group ( P <0.05). Conclusion Combined acupuncture and medicament with “tonifying the kidney to remove obstruction in meridians” has a good clinical effect on DPN.
