No: Which ×´condition" do you mean? "Idiopathic" as I'm sure you're aware means the cause is not known. There IS a cause, but identifying it is beyond the current state of the art of neurological diagnosis. The ES treats only symptoms, i.e. pain. It won't make the neuropathy itself any better or slow it down. You'd have to know the cause to do that. The numbness won't get better or stop getting worse.
