Treatment Options For This Condition
Bandage

Peripheral neuropathy can be a manageable condition if treated in a timely and effective manner. If the underlying issue is corrected, symptoms can often improve on their own.

Some treatment options include:

  • Pain relievers
  • Anti-seizure medication
  • Capsicum (a cream)
  • Lidocaine patches
  • Antidepressants
  • Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)

TENS is a unique therapy option that uses adhesive electrodes on the skin to send a gentle electric current through the electrodes. This treatment has to be applied regularly to have positive effects.
