Overview

Surgically decompression of compressed lower-extremity nerves can improve sensation, decreases pain and decreases balance problems, and should be recommended for patients with peripheral neuropathy who have failed to improve with traditional medical treatment. More data are needed to elucidate the role of surgical procedures for peripheral neuropathy treatment in the future.

Surgery

  • Surgically decompression of compressed lower-extremity nerves can improve sensation, decreases pain and decreases balance problems, and should be recommended for patients with peripheral neuropathy who have failed to improve with traditional medical treatment.[1][2]
  • More data are needed to elucidate the role of surgical procedures for peripheral neuropathy treatment in the future.[3]
