Abstract in brief

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the link between peripheral neuropathy (PN) and B-vitamin levels, finding that PN is associated with lower B12 and higher levels of methylmalonic acid and homocysteine, which are biomarkers indicating B12 deficiency.
The analysis showed that vitamin treatments, especially B1, may help improve PN symptoms, but overall the results were mixed and often not statistically significant, highlighting the need for better-designed studies.
The review emphasizes that more targeted research is required to determine how B-vitamin supplementation can best be used to treat PN, particularly in patients without diabetes, and notes that current studies have limitations like not measuring vitamin levels before treatment.]
