Comparison of mechanical pain threshold and sciatic nerve conduction velocity of rats among the three groups ($\overline{x}\pm s$).

Groups	Mechanical pain threshold (g)	Sciatic nerve conduction velocity (m/s)
Control group	75.32 ± 7.52	55.32 ± 6.23
DM group	40.12 ± 5.32a	40.12 ± 5.77a
DM intervention group	60.21 ± 6.80ab	48.78 ± 5.02ab
F value	71.243	18.075
P value	<0.001	<0.001

Note: ^aP < 0.05 vs. control group; ^bP < 0.05 vs. DM group.
