OBJECTIVE
In patients with symptomatic diabetic polyneuropathy, is oral alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) effective in improving neuropathic symptoms compared with placebo?
METHODS
The question was addressed with a structured evidence-based clinical neurologic practice review via videoconferencing between 3
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) was tried in treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) using different routes, doses and treatment durations. The aim of this work is to assess the efficacy of oral 600mg ALA twice daily over 6 months in treatment of patients with Chronic orthostatic hypotension (OH), affecting 10 to 30% of the elderly, is associated with falls, and increased morbidity and mortality. Current pharmacologic therapy can cause or worsen hypertension and fluid retention. (r)α lipoic acid (ALA), a powerful natural antioxidant, avoids those

METHODS
A 63-year-old man with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and stage 2 chronic renal failure was referred to the
BACKGROUND
The etiopathogenetic mechanisms of peripheral neuropathies include genetic, traumatic, toxic, metabolic, infectious, nutritional, inflammatory and paraneoplastic causes. Their treatment should primarily address their contributing causes. However, symptomatic therapy is also key in these
Migraine cannot be cured and the aim, shared with the patient, is to minimise the impact of the illness on the patient's life and lifestyle. The aim of prophylaxis is to reduce the number of migraine attacks. Prophylaxis should be considered when appropriately used acute management gives inadequate
