Curiously, a significant volumetric difference between the left (mean = 5198 mm 3 , SD = 495.0) and the right thalamus (mean = 4946 mm 3 , SD = 590.6) was found in patients with nonpainful DPN ( P < 0.01), which contributed to an almost significant left–right volumetric difference in the entire sample of patients with type 1 DM and DPN ( P = 0.08).
