I worked for a major pharmaceutical company for over 30 years. Clinical trials obviously are necessary, but at some point they should result in some type of better treatment for the conditions being studied. There have been countless clinical trials researching neuropathy, but absolutely nothing in terms of a product has materialized! What’s going on? The drugs currently used to treat neuropathy are only somewhat effective, at best. There are large numbers of drugs to treat MS, depression, and many other neurological problems. For neuropathy you have the anti-seizure drugs and SNRI’s and a few other barely effective agents, but nothing that’s even close to a breakthrough. I find it odd that over this many years we are still spinning the R&D wheels when it comes to neuropathy.
