This study aims to analyze the therapeutic effect of mecobalamin combined with edaravone in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). A total of 65 patients with DPN treated in our hospital from May 2024 to May 2025 were randomly divided into a control group (32 cases, receiving conventional treatment plus mecobalamin) and an observation group (33 cases, receiving additional edaravone based on the control group regimen), and the treatment outcomes were compared between the two groups. The results showed that the observation group demonstrated significantly better nerve conduction velocity indices, serological markers, and vibration perception threshold (VPT) than the control group (P < 0.05). It is concluded that the combination of mecobalamin and edaravone can effectively improve nerve conduction velocity, serum indicators, and VPT in patients with DPN.
