How is polyneuritis treated?

Treatment of polyneuritis requires active management of the underlying disease—for example, diabetes mellitus or uremia—as well as increased intake of nutritional substances and correction of vitamin deficiencies. Patients should also avoid exposure to harmful substances, which can help alleviate symptoms. Additionally, neurotrophic medications—such as vitamins and nerve growth factors—should be administered under a physician’s guidance; other therapeutic options may include dibazole or low-molecular-weight dextran.
