The broad and challenging – but promising – landscape of peripheral neuropathy

Therapeutic options

There are no FDA-approved treatments for CSPN, as most treatments are geared toward neuropathic pain management, rehabilitation, and supportive care.⁶⁸ Due to a lack of research and data regarding these types of peripheral neuropathies, various studies suggest different first-line therapies. For example, anticonvulsants (pregabalin, gabapentin), antidepressants (duloxetine), and opioid-like compounds (tramadol) are all threapy options to treat DPN.³

Adequate data are lacking to support the efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy in CSPN.
