Overview
The main objective of this observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). The questions it aims to address are: (1) To compare the differences in various parameters between the DPN group, non-DPN group, and healthy control group; (2) To explore the diagnostic efficacy of each parameter for DPN and establish a combined model.
Primary outcome measures
- Shear Wave Velocity [Time frame: from 2024-4 to 2029-4]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:Individuals aged 18 to 75 years without diabetes -
