Can peripheral neuropathy be relieved? Is it good to use traditional Chinese medicine?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Can peripheral neuropathy be relieved? Is it good to use traditional Chinese medicine?

Doctor's answer:

For the peripheral neuropathy, a neurological condition you mentioned, it is not primarily determined by traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Instead, Western medicine treatment is taken as the foundation. Generally, some hormone-based medications are used first to alleviate nerve edema, and then some B vitamins and other nutrients are used to support nerve recovery. It is recommended that patients visit a private, higher-level hospital for a follow-up consultation in the neurology department and follow the doctor's advice to formulate a treatment plan.
