Webinar: Keeping the OPTIONs open for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain
Keeping the OPTIONs open for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain
Thursday 4th May 2023, 5:00pm - 6:00pm
In the second of the 2023 ABCD webinar series, please join Dr. Kevin Fernando to discuss ‘Keeping the OPTIONs open for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain’ including a summary of the OPTION-DM trial.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) is a frequent complication of diabetes and a major cause of morbidity and reduction in quality of life. Despite this, there is little comparative evidence on which analgesic treatment to recommend or whether they should be combined. The aim of the OPTION-DM trial was to establish the most clinically beneficial and best tolerated treatment pathway for people with DPNP. This session will cover key take-home messages from OPTION-DM as well practical tips & pitfalls to avoid for the treatment of peripheral & autonomic neuropathy
Q& A will follow this presentation.
