There are a few studies out there, but not many. This drug will never be extensively studied because no drug company would touch this with a 10 foot pole since there is no money to be made from it. Many cutting edge lyme, pain, and functional medicine docs have been seeing good clinical results from this drug. I think if there is any hint of your neuropathy being immuned-mediated, then this might be a good option as long as you are not taking narcotics.
Dr. Pradeep Chopra has had success treating his CRPS patients with LDN. Don't quote me but I think he said that it works for about 70% of his patients and he combines it with gabapentin.
