No, steroids are not always given for PN. They are sometimes tried when a person is suspected of having GBS ... or a rapidly demyelinating process. Some autoimmune processes may respond to steroids. They are used for example in Myasthenia Gravis. Most sensory PNs are slowly progressive and steroids are not typically used.
