Topiramate for diabetic neuropathy?

Does topiramate relieve pain in neuropathy?


Topiramate is an anticonvulsant which is also used to treat migraine. It is sometimes prescribed by doctors to treat peripheral neuropathy. Unfortunately evidence to support its use in diabetic neuropathy is weak. At the moment, the drug should be considered experimental as there is little or no evidence to indicate that it works in diabetic neuropathy. However, it is a great drug for people with migraine.
