I have some links on the subforum about this, ganglionopathy.

Repair has been found recently to be genetically driven with a small subset of people who lack the DNA directions to repair damage there.

The result has been suggested that only stem cell therapies could work.

The dorsal roots get damaged by toxins, and viruses (ex: Shingles from Herpes Zoster), and trauma. Most people can repair this with adequate attention to nutrients...but those lacking the genes to make the growth factors, remain damaged.

So stem cells are being investigated for this.
