Medications are used to control the pain associated with peripheral diabetic neuropathy. Unfortunately, at this time, there arenât any medications to treat and prevent diabetic nerve pain (another name for diabetic neuropathy); the only way to do that is through careful control of blood glucose levels. There are many medication options to relieve pain associated with peripheral nerve damage.
Treatment for Nerve Damage. In many cases, prompt diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause can reduce the risk for permanent nerve damage. For example, controlling diabetes may reduce diabetic neuropathy and renal dialysis often improves neuropathy that develops as a result of chronic renal failure. Treatment options for reducing pain include medication, injection therapy, and physical therapy.
