We can only post here what has been published. And the 30% figure is a new statistic from a large metastudy of previous gabapentin studies.

There are many studies on PubMed showing lipoic acid, benfotiamine, B12, acetyl carnitine, etc have reduced PN symptoms in those studies. But I have not seen metastudies collecting them all yet. Some of those studies go back over 10 yrs, and many started in Europe or other countries.
