Peripheral Neuropathy Prognosis (Expectations)
The outcome greatly depends on the cause of the neuropathy. In cases where a medical condition can be identified and treated, the prognosis may be excellent. However, in severe neuropathy, nerve damage can be permanent, even if the cause is treated appropriately.
For most hereditary neuropathies, there is no cure. Some of these conditions have a benign (harmless) prognosis, while others progress more rapidly and may lead to permanent, severe complications.
