It’s Peripheral Neuropathy Awareness Week!
Share your story and help raise awareness of this often invisible, debilitating condition. More research is needed for better treatments—and cures.
#NeuropathyAwareness #PeripheralNeuropathy #FoundationForPN
The search for cures is still underway. 65% of 600+ community members named research as FPN's top priority. We promise to keep funding the search for better treatments and cures and to keep this community connected along the way. Help us keep this promise. f.mtr.cool/ehfxq700vn

Save the date! @FoundationforPN hosting a neuropathy symposium open to scientists, clinicians, trainees, industry and non-profit, sponsors and patients. New Orleans, Oct 5-6 2027. Sign up for updates here: tinyurl.com/8ycc2up2 #neuropathy
Only about 1 in 3 people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy experience pain. The other 2 in 3 don't.
Why? Researchers still don't know.
Learn more from Dr. Brian Callaghan: f.mtr.cool/fuk5w8f8u4
Help us fund brilliant new minds in neuropathy to bring quicker diagnosis, better treatments, and improved outcomes for patients with peripheral neuropathy: f.mtr.cool/c0hj1fmyhy
Today, researchers are using FPN's Patient Registry to better understand peripheral neuropathy and accelerate discoveries.
Every patient story helps shape what comes next in peripheral neuropathy research. f.mtr.cool/9al03znmtw
Why can't a scan show how much pain someone's in? Dr. Alexander Chamessian from @WashUAnesRsrch on the limits of imaging for neuropathic pain—and what it means for care and research: f.mtr.cool/s16kz09i1x

Meet 2026 Next Gen. Researcher Ariel Zhang, PhD. She is running experiments to see if reducing a specific protein called ATF2 could prevent #PeripheralNeuropathy in chemotherapy patients. Funded with @FoundationforPN. 🧠 Learn more 💡➡️ ow.ly/axE350ZzyPp
ALT Researcher Feature: Ariel Zhang, PhD. Dr. Zhang is a 2026 Next Generation Researcher studying peripheral neuropathy. Her research will explore the role of a protein called ATF2 in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and investigate if reducing the protein can protect against this condition. If so, this could pave the way for the development of safer cancer treatments. This research is funded by The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy.
Millions of people live with #PeripheralNeuropathy. Progress starts with research. We're funding two research scholarships. Your gift today will be matched 1:1, to move closer to better treatments.
