Neuropathy (all types)

Post describing how you can contribute (Video and Excel data entry)

This is a citizen science site -- you can contribute by investing and sharing your time.

Common knowledge amoung some professionals (MD and ND):

  1. Alpha-Lipoic Acid: Alpha-lipoic acid, an antioxidant, is sometimes used for individuals with diabetic neuropathy. It may have neuroprotective effects and could potentially help reduce symptoms like pain or tingling. However, evidence regarding its effectiveness is mixed, and it may not work for everyone.

  2. Vitamin B Complex: Certain B vitamins, particularly B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin), are essential for nerve health and function. Some individuals with neuropathy, especially those with deficiencies, might benefit from B vitamin supplementation. However, excessive doses should be avoided as they might have adverse effects.

  3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil or certain plant-based sources may have anti-inflammatory properties that could potentially provide general health support. Some studies suggest they might help reduce inflammation and nerve damage, but their specific role in neuropathy requires further research.

  4. Vitamin D: Adequate levels of vitamin D are important for overall health. Some research suggests a potential association between low vitamin D levels and neuropathy. However, its direct impact on neuropathy is not fully understood.

  5. Probiotics: While not directly related to neuropathy, maintaining a healthy gut microbiome might indirectly support overall health. Some studies suggest that probiotics might have a role in modulating inflammation and immune function, which could potentially impact certain neuropathic conditions.
