Mona,
There are over 75 different medications used alone and in conjunction with one another (cocktails) to treat PN. I doubt if your hubby has been thru all of them. As for diagnoses and testing, there is a site that lists all the currently known and used tests for finding neuropathy causes.
Go to www.lizajane.org for a list of these tests (and a lot of other good stuff for PN diagnostics).
