  Treatment goals are to manage the condition causing your neuropathy and to improve symptoms. If your lab tests show no condition that’s causing the neuropathy, your health care professional might recommend watchful waiting to see if your neuropathy stays the same or gets better. […] Medicines can be used to treat conditions associated with peripheral neuropathy. There also are medicines used to improve peripheral neuropathy symptoms. These medicines include: […] Various therapies and procedures might help with the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. […] Scrambler therapy. This treatment uses electrical impulses to send nonpain messages to the brain. These messages replace the pain messages the nerves send to the brain. The goal is to retrain the brain to think there is no pain. […] Spinal cord stimulation. This type of therapy works through devices put into the body. These devices are called neurostimulators. They send low-level electrical impulses that can block pain signals from reaching the brain.

  What Are the Treatments for Peripheral Neuropathy? […] Treatment of peripheral neuropathy relies heavily on the cause of the nerve damage. For example, peripheral neuropathy caused by a vitamin deficiency can be treated — even reversed — with vitamin therapy and an improved diet. Likewise, nerve damage brought on by alcohol abuse can often be stopped and improved by avoiding alcohol. Peripheral neuropathy caused by toxic substances or medications can often be corrected in much the same way. When neuropathy is related to diabetes, careful monitoring of blood sugar levels may slow its progression and curb symptoms. […] Early diagnosis and treatment of peripheral neuropathy is important because the peripheral nerves have a limited capacity to regenerate, and treatment may only stop it from getting worse, not reverse the damage. If you have become severely impaired, you may need physical therapy to help retain strength and avoid muscle cramping and spasms. Medications to control pain with neuropathy include: […] Surgery may be recommended for people with nerve damage from injury or nerve compression. Mobility aids, such as a cane, walker, or wheelchair, may be helpful.

  The best treatment for alcoholic neuropathy is discontinuing alcohol consumption. Again, this will not cure the neuropathy, but it will prevent it from getting worse and allow symptoms to improve. […] Depending on the severity of the neuropathy, discontinuing the medication can help prevent the neuropathy from worsening. […] The most common medications used for relieving neuropathic pain include: over-the-counter pain meds, creams with anti-pain components, prescription pain meds, anti-seizure medications (anti-convulsants), and antidepressants. […] Physical therapy is often the most effective way to gain better control of nerves that are not affected by neuropathy, which can help compensate for the weakness caused by nearby damaged nerves. […] If you have neuropathy, your injuries and wounds may not be as painful as they normally would. This lack of pain is a real problem, as you may not notice a wound becoming larger or infected.

  Treatment for peripheral neuropathy depends on your symptoms and what is causing the nerve damage. Treatment is often twofold: treating pain and other symptoms and treating the underlying cause. […] Your doctor may prescribe medication to relieve pain and tingling. Different types of antidepressants including selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) like duloxetine (Cymbalta) and tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline (Elavil), as well as certain antiseizure medications including gabapentin (Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica), can ease these symptoms. […] Over-the-counter skin patches or creams that contain lidocaine also may help. Other pain management techniques include electrical stimulation and relaxation therapy. […] Although these medications and techniques can help ease symptoms, they do not heal the nerve damage. If the underlying cause of the neuropathy is treated, symptoms sometimes can resolve as nerves recover and regrow.
