How to treat small fiber neorapathy?

Depends on cause: The first and most important treatment of peripheral neuropathy is to identify and treat the cause. If you have diabetes, very good control of blood sugar is essential for improvement. Symptomatic treatment with medications can help manage or control your symptoms - certain antidepressants and seizure medications are effective in many people. Talk to a neurologist or pain management specialist.
