Many ways: Neuropathy in of itself can be related to many different disease processes, such as diabetes. Improved control of the disease process may result in some improvement in the neuropathy symptoms. Other treatments may include meds in anti-seizure class that act to "calm" over active nerves causing discomfort. If refractory to meds and conservative tx, neuromodulation through spinal cord stimulation.

Neuropathy: As dr. Dechellis aptly noted, the single most important aspect of treating neuropathy is to address and control the underlying cause. If you're a diabetic, being absolutely fastidious in controlling your blood sugars is the single most effective way in decreasing symptoms of neuropathy.
