GAP 43 immunohistochemistry from skin biopsies in non–painful (NPDPN Q+SOC) and painful (PDPN Q+SOC) Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy following Capsaicin 8% patch Qutenza (Q) treatment. Sub–epidermal fiber density (SENF, % area) in 30 μm sections in NPDPN Q+SOC and PDPN Q+SOC at baseline (Q PRE) and statistically no significant difference in NPDPN and PDPN before (Q PRE, p = 0. 94; Mann–Whitney test; n = 24 NPDPN Q+SOC) or 3 months after treatment (Q POST, p = 0. 38, Mann–Whitney test). Statistically no significant difference between control group and baselines (Q PREs), but significant increases after treatment (Q POSTs) in both NPDPN Q+SOC and PDPN Q+SOC (*p = 0.04 and *p = 0.02 respectively, Mann–Whitney test). **Very significant, ***Highly significant.
