Neuropathy: What works and what are scams?

I did a quick search of Connect and didn't see any other members who have mentioned using PDE5 inhibitors for neuropathy but I did find some research on the topic. Haven't seen any clinical trials or studies though.
"Peripheral neuropathy: A report was published suggesting that daily use of PDE5 inhibitors, through improved blood flow through vasa vasorum, helped alleviate peripheral neuropathy symptoms."

John, thanks for your reply and for the link. This is a 2023 article and the summation certainly indicates that this may in fact be a valid treatment possibility for PN. As I said earlier my sister-in-law is symptom free of the Raynaud's for one year after starting treatment. Let's hope Mayo Clinic will pickup on this and research this possibility. Thanks, Rick
