Surgical disinfection and debridement, hemostatic bandage or even surgery are needed to repair the trauma, and medicines such as methylcobalamin, epothilone, vitamin B, lipoic acid and other drugs should be applied to nourish the nerves. 2. Inflammation: Inflammatory lesions occur in the area where peripheral nerves pass through, which involve the nerves and lead to neuroinflammatory lesions and pain.

Diabetes mellitus: long-term diabetes mellitus leads to peripheral neuropathy, resulting in neuralgia. You can take metformin, selegiline and other drugs or subcutaneous injection of insulin to lower glucose, and apply methylcobalamin, epothilone, vitamin B, lipoic acid and other drugs to nourish the nerves.
