What if all treatment for peripheral neuropathy don't work, what then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Peripheral neuropath: I'm not sure what treatment you received before. The treatment of peripheral neuropathy depends mainly on the causes. Some of the treatment including physical therapy, medications such as anti-seizures, antidepressants, topical cream, injections such as nerve block, spinal cord stimulation. Please see a pain specialist for evaluation. Spinal cord stimulation seems effective in many cases.
