Symptomatic conditions with neuropathic pain, numbness, tingling & burning sensation in the extremities for at least 1 month before enrolling in the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. Timepoint: Investigation of parameters would be performed throughout the treatment period followed by visit-I (baseline), visit-II (week 4), visit-III (week 8), and visit-IV (week 12). Method of measurement: Vibration perception thresholds (VPT) through Biothesiometer, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Neuropathic Pain Scale (NPS) would be used to assess the patients on all four visits.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The safety of Dino. Timepoint: safety assessed during the course of study following Visit I (baseline), Visit II (week 4), Visit III (week 8), and Visit IV (week 12). Method of measurement: For the analysis of secondary outcomes, all adverse drug reactions such as skin rash, nausea, gastrointestinal intolerance, or hypersensitivity to product components will be recorded through examination by the relevant study physician at all study visits, reviewed, and documented in the respective checklist(vital signs checklist) and reported by ADR questionnaire . Other vital signs will also be measured at each visit to detect potential hidden side effects and will be recorded and documented in the respective checklist(vital signs checklist). For instance, pulse rate will be measured using a digital pulse meter. Oxygen saturation will be measured using a pulse oximeter with the brand name Beurer and model type PO30. Similarly, respiratory rate will be manually counted by the researcher, and blood pressure will be measured using an Omron blood pressure monitor with model type M2 and as mentioned, it is recorded in the vital signs checklist.;Examination of potential side effects, including skin rash. Timepoint: Adverse effects are evaluated during the course of study following Visit I (baseline), Visit II (week 4), Visit III (week 8), and Visit IV (week 12). Method of measurement: For the analysis of secondary outcomes, all adverse drug reactions such as skin rash will be recorded through examination by the relevant study physician at all study visits, reviewed, and documented in the respective checklist(vital signs checklist) and reported by ADR questionnaire.;Examination of potential side effects, including nausea. Timepoint: Adverse effects are evaluated during the course of study following Visit I (baseline), Visit II (week 4), Visit III (week 8), and Visit IV (week 12). Method of measurement: For the analysis of secondary outcomes, all adverse drug reactions such as nausea
