All participants were asked to complete the Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS) and the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). The NSS consists of questions on symptoms in the lower limbs, such as burning, numbness, or tingling, when the symptoms usually happened, and ways used to alleviate the discomfort. The maximum score was 9, and a symptom score of 3–4 was defined as mild symptoms; 5–6 as moderate symptoms; and 7–9 as severe symptoms [5]. An 11-point NPRS was used to evaluate pain intensity in patients with DPN, where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain [6].
