Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
The treatment of neuropathy depends on the underlying cause and the predominant symptoms.
If the main symptoms are burning, pain and tingling in feet and hands, then medications such as gabapentin (neurontin), pregabalin (lyrica) and duloxetine (cymbalta) are very effective.
If the main symptoms are motor (weakness of feet and hands), then, regular physiotherapy and exercises would also be useful.
In addition, the underlying cause of neuropathy should be identified and treated.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
