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
