Peripheral nerve damage can be treated through medications, vitamins, and other methods. Commonly used supplements include vitamin B1, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and folic acid. Once the underlying cause is identified, targeted treatment can lead to more effective management and recovery. For example, diabetic neuropathy results from metabolic disturbances; thus, proper blood sugar control can effectively reduce peripheral nerve damage. Patients with long-term or excessive alcohol consumption can also benefit from pharmacological treatment.
