when it come to type 1 and type 2 as far as have seen treatments aren't so much different as that the out come is. They say type 1 is said to be damage to smaller nerves and is more reversible or treatable where as type 2 a more bigger or major nerve that has been severed or severely damaged. I think with both types we go through the same treatments whether meds or devices. This is some of what I read and have seen at pain clinics that even though I am type 2 people with type one were doing the same treatments.
