# mild painkillers, such as paracetamol (Panadol) or aspirin (eg Disprin).
# gabapentin (eg Neurontin), an antiepileptic medicine licensed for nerve pain. # opioid painkillers, such as tramadol (eg Zydol) or dextropropoxyphene. They may be useful if other treatments have failed. # capsaicin cream (Zacin).

Gabapentin provides relief in about 60% of people who have chronic pain caused by diabetic neuropathy.
