1,779 patients reported neuropathic pain: 9.6% were attributed to diabetic neuropathy, 28.6% to back pain, 19.3% to carpal tunnel syndrome, 10.7% to frozen shoulder syndrome and 6.1% to brachialgia.47 In a study of 84 patients with diabetes who underwent assessment with a structured questionnaire, pDPN was diagnosed in 14.3%.48 Indeed, the limited studies and awareness of pDPN may well explain the findings of our recent study showing important differences between physician and patient perceptions of pDPN in Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand, with major repercussions on the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.49
