Peripheral Neuropathies Derived from COVID-19: New Perspectives for Treatment
Peripheral neuropathies constitute a group of disorders affecting the peripheral nervous system. Neuropathies have multiple causes such as infections (i.e., COVID-19), diabetes, and nutritional (low vitamin levels), among others. Many micronutrients, such as vitamins (A, C, D, E, B6, B12, and folate...

| description | Peripheral neuropathies constitute a group of disorders affecting the peripheral nervous system. Neuropathies have multiple causes such as infections (i.e., COVID-19), diabetes, and nutritional (low vitamin levels), among others. Many micronutrients, such as vitamins (A, C, D, E, B6, B12, and folate), certain minerals (Fe, Mg, Zn, Se, and Cu), and ω-3 fatty acids have immunomodulatory effects. Therefore, they may play an instrumental role in the treatment of COVID-19 infection. However, many COVID-19 patients can undergo neuropathy. In this context, there is a wealth of information on a variety of first-, second-, and third-line treatment options. This review focuses on the application of nutraceutical strategies in order to improve the symptomatology of neuropathy and neuropathic pain in patients that suffered from COVID-19. Our aim is to provide an alternative vision to traditional medical-pharmacological treatment through nutraceuticals. |
