For peripheral nerve injury, it is best to visit a hospital for relevant examinations—such as CT or MRI—to determine the extent of damage. Treatment should then be tailored according to the examination results and the severity of the condition. If the injury is not particularly severe, treatment may involve neurotrophic medications prescribed by a physician, including vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12, along with adenosylcobalamin, methylcobalamin, and epalrestat.
