Painful Neuropathy Program

Establishing a comprehensive Painful Neuropathy Program is a turnkey solution that significantly elevates patient care through advanced diagnostics and targeted interventions. 

The Diabetic Neuropathy Device™ provides thoroughly assesses both small and large fiber functions, allowing precise identification and measurement of neuropathy types. This invaluable data empowers healthcare providers to tailor interventions effectively. Furthermore, the inclusion of NutriNerve® supplements, formulated by the internationally renowned endocrinologist and leading expert on diabetic neuropathy, Dr. Aaron Vinik, MD PhD, and supports the maintenance of a healthy nervous system. Recognized as the #1 Supplement that Scientific Thinking can Offer for Nerve Health, these all-natural supplements aid cellular repair. The program, combining state-of-the-art diagnostics and natural supplements, ensures a holistic approach to managing and mitigating diabetic neuropathy, ultimately enhancing patients' quality of life.

"Every medical practice should test patients with the DND before referring them to a specialist because it can help identify potential underlying conditions that may require further investigation or treatments." -J. Gonzalez MD, Neurologist 

Screening.

Medical providers often rely on outdated subjective tools for screening diabetic neuropathy, like the tuning fork (inv. 1711 and the monofilament (inv. 1938), which can lead to missed opportunities for early intervention. Traditional methods, such as patient self-reporting and monofilament testing, lack the precision and sensitivity for early detection. These subjective tools may result in false-positive or false-negative results, contributing to inaccurate assessments of neuropathy risk. False positives can trigger unnecessary anxiety and interventions, while false negatives may lead to delayed diagnosis and intervention, missing crucial opportunities to address neuropathy in its early stages.

The consequences of relying on outdated tools are profound. Early intervention in diabetic neuropathy is pivotal for preventing or mitigating complications, such as foot ulcers and amputations. Subjective tools often fail to capture subtle changes in nerve function, contributing to delayed or overlooked diagnoses. Integrating advanced diagnostics, such as the Diabetic Neuropathy Device™, into routine screenings can overcome these limitations. This state-of-the-art device offers objective assessments of both small and large fiber functions, providing accurate and timely information for medical providers. By embracing modern diagnostic approaches, healthcare professionals can enhance their ability to detect diabetic neuropathy early, improving patient outcomes and reducing the overall burden of neuropathic complications.

Testing.

Testing for neuropathy and utilizing modern technology, such as the Diabetic Neuropathy Device™ (DND) is paramount in meeting the evolving guidelines set by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for diabetes screening and diagnosis. It is expected, if not an obligation, for medical providers to utilize the most modern and objective diagnostic tools in medicine rather than relying on subjective tools such as tuning forks (invented in 1711) and monofilaments (invented in 1938). The DND stands out as the sole tool capable of screening distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN), aligning with the ADA's recommendations for assessing both small fiber function (temperature) and large fiber function (vibration). These advanced capabilities make the DND essential in adhering to the new standards outlined in the Diabetic Neuropathy: A Position Statement by the American Diabetes Association. The precise assessments provided by the DND empower healthcare providers with accurate information, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation aligned with the latest guidelines.

Tailoring neuropathy treatments to address each patient's unique clinical presentation and underlying pathogenesis is crucial, especially in avoiding the adverse effects associated with opioids. For instance, administering pain relief medication to patients with painful neuropathy might alleviate symptoms but could mask the loss of protective sensation (LOPS) in their feet. This masking effect increases the risk of foot ulcers and amputation. Identifying individuals in the early stages of the neuropathic process is, therefore, vital, enabling more effective risk reduction strategies and personalized treatment plans that address the root causes of neuropathy. The DND is pivotal in this approach, offering a sophisticated tool for accurate assessments and early intervention.
