One of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus is diabetic polyneuropathy, which leads to disability and reduces quality of life. The toxic effects of high glucose concentrations contribute to the formation of ketoaldehyde free radicals, which, at an increased rate of their formation, leads to the development of oxidative stress in the nervous tissue. The planned study of the use of Cytoflavin® in diabetic polyneuropathy is substantiated by its antioxidant effect, which, by analogy with alpha-lipoic acid preparations, suggests its efficacy in the combined treatment of such patients. This clinical study is being conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of Cytoflavin® versus Placebo in diabetic polyneuropathy patients with type 2 diabetes. Study patients will receive study medication, 10 IV infusions followed by 75 days of oral intake. Clinical efficacy will be assessed by alleviation of symptoms (burning, numbness, pain and pricking), using the total symptoms score(TSS), after the completion of the treatment course.
