2010
Abstract To estimate the late duration of the effect of 3-week intravenous alpha-lipoic acid (alpha-LA) administration. The study included patients with symptoms of myodiabetic polyneuropathy. The authors studied trends in neuropathic symptoms by the TSS scale and neuropathic deficit by the NIS-LL scale after 3-week intravenous alpha-LA (600 mg/day) administration. Control follow-up visits were made at weeks 8 and 30 of the study. In alpha-LA-treated patients, the mean TSS score dropped from 9.46 +/- 1.01 to 3.29 +/- 1.49 after intravenous alpha-LA administration and continued to decrease to 260 +/- 1.18 and 4.39 +/- 201 scores at follow-up weeks 8 and 30, respectively. In the placebo group, these were 9.78 +/- 1.23, 6.16 +/- 1.95, 6.52 +/- 1.61, and 736 +/- 1.31 scores at weeks 3, 8, and 30, respectively; p
