Peripheral neuropathy Treatments
Some of the possible treatments listed in sources for treatment of Peripheral neuropathy may include:
- Treatment depends on the underlying cause
- Chromium - possibly used for treatment of related chromium deficiency
- Vitamin B1 - possibly used for related vitamin B1 deficiency
- Vitamin B6 - possibly used for related vitamin B6 deficiency
- No medical treatments now exist that can cure inherited peripheral neuropathy. However, there are therapies for many other forms. Any underlying condition is treated first, followed by symptomatic treatment. Peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate, as long as the nerve cell itself has not been killed. Symptoms often can be controlled, and eliminating the causes of specific forms of neuropathy often can prevent new damage
