Clinical research progress of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) on treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in recent six years was explained from aspects of pathogenesis

pattern classification of TCM and internal and external medication.The result showed a good therapeutic effect of TCM treatment on early stage of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.However

it mainly came from clinical reports in recent years

and was lack of experimental and fundamental studies.So we suggest that more work should be done in experimental and fundamental research area

which may bring better fundamental service for patients.
