Lightbulb Nerve Growth Factor - Possible hope for treatment of neuropathy
I was recently told about Nerve Growth Factor by my Orthopedist and have performed a little research today on it.
It appears that this could offer some hope for the repair of neuron damage.
They speak about it's possibilities HIV based neuropathy, but from what I have read other trials have shown NGF's efficacy with other neuropathies, including peripheral neuropathy.
Take a look at these articles: The company has since shutdown, but there are other trials from what I am reading.

Interesting articles. I wonder why the company closed down?

The company was started on venture capital, and its lead drug—an antidepressant—didn't pan out.
