Objective: Purpose of this study was to determine association between nerve conduction studies and neurological examination scores in patients with diabetes who had known detectable sensorimotor neuropathy. Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Islamic International Medical College, Combined Military Hospital and Armed Forces Institute of Rehabilitative Medicine in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from January 2006 to January 2015. Materials and Methods: Patients with confirmed diabetes (n=30) and clinically detectable sensorimotor polyneuropathy according to clinical scores were selected for inclusion. The type of fiber involved was determined on the basis of the modified Diabetic Neuropathy Symptom (DNS) score and modified Diabetic Neuropathy Examination (DNE) score. Results: Neuropathy Disability Score results showed a significant positive correlation with the results of nerve conduction studies in both large and small types of fiber. Conclusion: In patients with type 2 diabetes and advanced neuropathy, association among the results of Neuropathy Disability scores and nerve conduction studies indicates the impaired functioning of both small and large nerve fiber.
