Several prescription medications can effectively treat neuropathic pain, including duloxetine, pregabalin, and gabapentin. Many people find relief with gabapentin specifically for nerve pain. Over-the-counter options like acetaminophen or topical lidocaine creams may help with mild symptoms. Always check with your doctor before starting any new medications, including over-the-counter ones. Physical therapy is one of the most effective non-medication treatments. A physical therapist can teach you exercises to help with balance, strength and pain management. Low-impact activities like swimming, biking, yoga, and stretching can also provide relief. Additionally, complementary therapies like acupuncture, lymphatic drainage, meditation, and oncology massage may help reduce symptoms. Some people find relief through vitamin supplements, particularly B12, but always consult your doctor before starting any supplements as they can interact with medications. Where legally available, some patients report benefits from medical marijuana or CBD products for neuropathy pain management, though this should also be discussed with your healthcare provider first.
