This study aimed to perform a clinical evaluation of low cost and easily applied to detect the presence of peripheral diabetic neuropathy (DPN) in individuals with DM and to correlate the score of the esthesiometry’s test and MNSI. We evaluated 44 participants with a diagnosis of DM.The NDP was diagnosed by the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) and by esthesiometry with Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments. Eighteen (40.9%) subjects were diagnosed with neuropathy by MNSI and 30 (68.2%) by esthesiometry, the two tests showed a significant correlation, then, is possible to conclude that these two tests are effective when used together for such a diagnosis.
