Diabetes mellitus is a non-communicable disease which is a global challenge. Diabetes that is chronic and uncontrolled can cause various complications, one of which is diabetic neuropathy. One of the most common complications is neuropathy pain or painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), at least 25% - 30% of people with diabetes mellitus experience diabetic neuropathy pain. Diabetic neuropathy pain can interfere with work or daily activities, so treatment is necessary. Through this literature review, we will conduct an assessment of effective pharmacological therapy in reducing or alleviating diabetic neuropathy pain. The classes of drugs under review are anticonvulsants (carbamazepine, gabapentin, and pregabalin) and antidepressants (amitriptyline and duloxetine). This type of literature review is narrative review, the database used to search for literature sources, namely, PubMed, PMC, and Google Scholar uses keywords, the search results are limited to articles published between 2012 and 2022, free full text using Indonesian or Indonesian. English. Based on a review of the literature, the pregabalin group had the best efficacy, and the number of evidence-based medicines used pregabalin, followed by duloxetine, amitriptyline, and gabapentin. The most common side effects found in all types of drugs reviewed were dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting. However, it should be noted that in some groups there was decreased consciousness or somnolence, constipation, and anorexia.
