Will Mayo Clinic post a cure here if it is ever found? So many products sound convincing and then turn out to do nothing. It would be helpful if we would get suggestions for scientifically backed products that at least help if not cure neuropathy.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Not likely to be announced here. Someone will find it and post no doubt.

Beware of products falsely advertising miracle cures. One has to be really careful. Neuropathy is often an area of health that scammers target. In fact, they may even use fake logos or celebrities to help sell their product.

Some advertisers try to mis-use the Mayo brand to give credibility to their product. Mayo Clinic does not support or endorse any commercial products or companies and never has.

If a cure for this insidious condition is ever found it'd be front page news every where.

I am not sure not science will be able to regenerate nerves that no longer function. I think the key is to determine and eliminate the most likely causes of PN and then work forward from that point. This way, over time, many future cases of PN would no longer exist. We've all heard of some of the possible causes of PN. Some true? Someday, we'll know.

Probably not but so what? It will be a headline in every newspaper in the world.

I doubt it would be headline news. Most people dont even know it exists.

Are any trials still open? How may I be notified of any open peripheral neuropathy related to Chemotherapy?

What makes me so angry is that PA for my oncologist claims that my chemotherapy didn't cause the neuropathy... bull-crap; yes, it did. My feet were not bothering me like this until I went through chemotherapy and radiation. I'm so upset and I hate them sometimes.
