We have a new post here today, about a drug in the ARB family being looked at for nerve pain.... It is not on the market yet, and is from Australia.

This is the link to today's thread:
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread201097.html

The drug Diovan is also an ARB.... so there might be some connection to your question, if your doctor is reading the research on Ema401....

In this country, ARBs are not FDA approved for anything other than hypertension, that I know of.
But here are some other off label uses:

The ARB Benicar has been used to treat sarcoidosis. That treatment is controversial still.
