In the article “Evidence-based guideline: Treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy: Report of the American Academy of Neurology, the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine, and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation” by V. Bril et al. (Neurology® 2011;76:1758–1765), there was an error in the article text regarding the dosage for the number needed to treat (NNT) and an error in the citation of references 7–9. “The NNT for a 50% reduction in pain was 4 at 600 g/day.7–10” should read “The NNT for a 50% reduction in pain was 4 at 600 mg/day.10” The authors regret the errors.
