Healthy Living: Neuropathy Treatment

Thirty percent of all Americans will be affected by peripheral neuropathy, a condition that impacts nerves leading to the arms and legs.

In many cases, doctors prescribe medicines to help manage the pain, burning and tingling.

In Healthy Living, see how researchers are testing a new, non-addictive treatment inspired from a surprising source.

The potential new drug is being developed by the New Jersey-based company Chromocell.

The FDA granted the drug “fast-track” status based on need.

It is currently in phase one clinical trials.
