We typically do not say PN can be cured here.

Some PNs that are viral may get better quickly however. Some may be temporary in nature and self limiting.

Hereditary PN called Charcot Marie Tooth, does not have a potential for getting better at this time.

My neuropathy which was thyroid induced, is much much less painful than it was, but it is not "cured" with thyroid treatment.

Peripheral nerves can regenerate, but whether they do so 100% is still not proven. Often they misfire and cause pain or other symptoms while they are improving.
