Improving the lives of those affected by peripheral neuropathy
1 in 11 Americans is affected by peripheral neuropathy.
The Foundation for peripheral neuropathy serves as the resource of information for patients. We are focused on accelerating cures for peripheral neuropathy (PN), funding collaborative efforts of leading scientists, and raising awareness for the disease.
