Comparison of Vibratory Quantitative Sensory Testing and Nerve Conduction Studies in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Patients

Objective: Peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes is a serious problem. The key to control this problem is its early and definite diagnosis and treatment. After clinical examination, Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and Vibratory Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) are commonly testing methods for early evaluation of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Research Design and Methods: In our study we tried to establish the sensitivity, specificity and comparison between Nerve conduction studies (NCS) and Vibratory Quantitative Sensory testing in population in Kolkata, India by single visit cross sectional study in 35 subjects of 30- 60 years age group. Results: Vibratory QST shows 73% sensitivity and low specificity, NCV shows 100 % specificity and low sensitivity. Chi square test value is 0.024 (p>0.05). Conclusion: we can conclude that these tests cannot replace each other but complementary to each other for
