 There are a number of new or investigational treatment options for neuropathy. Cymbalta is helpful in some patients. Prospaptide O and high strength capsaicin are under study for peripheral neuropathy. I often seek consultation from paain specialist (often they utilize acupuncture and other non-traditional therapies) and neurologies to maximize the relief that can be obtained. KH | ||||||||
