Nutritional Neuropathies
Introduction
Malnutrition can affect all areas of the nervous system. Risk factors for malnutrition include alcohol abuse, eating disorders, older age, pregnancy, homelessness, and lower economic status. Any medical condition that affects the GI tract can also impair absorption of essential vitamins. Nutritional deficiencies have been described in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, fat malabsorption, chronic liver disease, pancreatic disease, gastritis, and small bowel resections. Patients receiving total parental nutrition (TPN) are also at risk for ...

Nutritional Supplements for the Treatment of Neuropathic Pain
Abstract: Neuropathic pain affects 7–10% of the population and is often ineffectively and incompletely treated. Although the gold standard for treatment of neuropathic pain includes tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors, and anticonvulsants, patients suffering from neuropathic pain are increasingly turning to nonpharmacologic treatments, including nutritional supplements for analgesia. So-called “nutraceuticals” have garnered significant interest among patients seeking to self-treat ...

Many efforts have been made to improve nerve regeneration, but a satisfactory outcome is still unachieved, highlighting the need for easy to apply supportive strategies for stimulating nerve growth and functional recovery. Recent focus has been made on the effect of the consumed diet and its relation to healthy and ...
