Peripheral neuropathy is more likely to be permanent in chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and genetic conditions. However, this can still vary, so it's best to ask your healthcare provider what's most likely in your case. Neurogenx is an innovative treatment that uses a combination of medications and electrical signals to heal damaged nerves and restore function. Once peripheral neuropathy develops, it's usually a sign of nerve damage, which usually doesn't heal on its own.
However, treating the root cause of peripheral neuropathy can make a significant difference. Peripheral nerves have a great capacity for healing. Although it may take months, recovery can occur. However, in some situations, the symptoms of neuropathy may decrease, but not disappear completely.
For example, nerve damage caused by radiation often doesn't recover well. Neuropathy caused by chemotherapy is also difficult to cure, and recovery can take 18 months to five years or more. During recovery from platinum-induced neuropathy, patients may experience increased symptoms. In stage 2, neuropathy is likely to still be fully reversible through a combination of dietary changes and advanced treatments.

By correcting the underlying cause of neuropathy, it can often heal on its own and nerves can recover and grow back. Simple lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy weight, following a nutritious diet, and taking vitamin supplements, can improve nerve health.
Exercise delivers more blood, oxygen and nutrients to nerve endings, improving muscle strength and preventing muscle atrophy. Controlling glucose levels has also been shown to reduce neuropathic symptoms and help people with diabetes avoid nerve damage. The surgeon can bypass a damaged section of the nerve by connecting a healthy nerve to restore function. If you have a serious nerve injury, surgery can restore critical muscle function by transferring tendons from one muscle to another.
Other tests that can be used to detect peripheral neuropathic diseases include imaging tests, nerve and skin biopsies, and nerve function tests.
