New Drug in Diabetic Neuropathy

Diabetic Neuropathy can be a painful condition which is a very agonizing nighttime pain seen in diabetics. However, new hope lies with experimental drug, memantine, which blocks NMDA receptors, which are believed to mediate pain effects in diabetic neuropathy being researched by Central Arkansas Research, Arkansas.

This drug showed a definite reduction of pain compared to placebo. What does this mean for India? Well, my uncle, the neurologist, will be pretty happy.
