Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) in the United States is defined as having had numbness, loss of feeling, or painful sensations in the feet within the last three months. PDN is managed by multiple well-established treatment options, many of which are generic. Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), antiepileptic drugs, and opioid-based drugs are most commonly used to treat PDN patients. However, current analgesics offer only inadequate pain relief, and so it is important to understand use of current therapies in newly diagnosed and recently treated PDN patients thought the use of national patient-level claims data.
