Additional treatment options

Sensory Protection Strategies

Environmental modifications and protective measures to prevent injury to areas with altered sensation. Includes temperature monitoring and protective footwear recommendations.

lifestyle

Serial Evoked Potential Studies

Regular neurological monitoring with repeated somatosensory evoked potential testing to track disease progression or treatment response over time.

monitoring

Acupuncture for Sensory Disturbances

Traditional acupuncture techniques targeting sensory meridians may help modulate abnormal somatosensory signaling and improve peripheral nerve function.
