(LML) Treatment for neuropathic pain

Leprosy Mailing List – April 28,  2019

Ref.:   (LML)  Treatment for neuropathic pain

From:  Wim Theuvenet, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands


Dear Pieter,


Francine Brandão raises an important topic: the treatment of neuropathy in leprosy (LML, April  23, 2019).

When the neuropathic pain is caused by a local swelling and entrapment of one of the larger peripheral nerves, one can consider doing a simple nerve decompression at the side of nerve entrapment. There is as far as I can see no discussion that this is a simple and effective method to reduce this type of pain when enlarged and tender nerves are found!


Wishing you all the best,

Willem Theuvenet
