Methodology Study participants will be evaluated pre-treatment baseline 12 weeks post-baseline post-treatment and at 24 and 36 weeks post-baseline follow-up Baseline assessment will include a neurological examination with a nerve conduction study to confirm the diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy The primary outcome measure will be pain intensity Secondary outcome measures will be pain quality pain-related disability physical and emotional functioning Measures of treatment feasibility will also be examined Participants receiving CBT will attend 10 weekly group treatment sessions of 90 minutes A target sample size of approximately 120 participants will be recruited
