I have not used it personally buut I know some people who have used it for neuropathy and it has been effective when medications are not helpful on thier own. It's managed by a pain specialist. They have a way to test it on you prior to installation, that way you feel it and determine if it will actually help you prior to having it imbedded. I have found some relief with using dr schools shoes, an electric blanket, ibuprofen prior to an active day. When I have more intense pain, a tens machine has recently worked for me. It's about trying to keep active walking daily but not over doing it.
