About prognosis: The 'prognosis' of Peripheral neuropathy usually refers to the likely outcome of Peripheral neuropathy. The prognosis of Peripheral neuropathy may include the duration of Peripheral neuropathy, chances of complications of Peripheral neuropathy, probable outcomes, prospects for recovery, recovery period for Peripheral neuropathy, survival rates, death rates, and other outcome possibilities in the overall prognosis of Peripheral neuropathy. Naturally, such forecast issues are by their nature unpredictable.

Prognosis for Peripheral neuropathy: Recovery from peripheral neuropathy is usually slow.

If severely affected, the patient may develop chronic muscular atrophy. ¹
