A member asked:

Are benfotiamine, r-alpha lipoic acid and near infrared laser therapy useful for nerve regeneration in ulnar nerve entrapment? thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It would be quite unlikely for an ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow to have any response to your listed remedies. Suggest a visit to an orthopedic hand specialist to have this more fully evaluated..
