=Overview
Surgery
- Surgically decompression of compressed lower-extremity nerves can improve sensation, decreases pain and decreases balance problems, and should be recommended for patients with peripheral neuropathy who have failed to improve with traditional medical treatment.[1][2]
- More data are needed to elucidate the role of surgical procedures for peripheral neuropathy treatment in the future.[3]
