Response to research article

This article is more of review and takes examples of previous studies and compiles them all into one document. The methods used to detect neuropathy are not explicitly states therefore it is difficult to determine how they decided what was minor and severe neuropathy. I think that using the Toronto clinical scoring system (TCSS) would be the best choice in determining minor or full onset neuropathy. With this system a score of 6-8 points would be considered mild neuropathy while a score of 12-19 would be considered severe neuropathy. This system also uses three different parts in order to come up with a neuropathy score, The three parts include a symptom score, a reflex score, and a sensory test score. Another scoring system that I think would be adequate would be the clinical neurological examination system (CNE). This system also classifies neuropathy in four different stages, none, mild, moderate, and severe.
