Peripheral neuropathies include disorders in structure and function of peripheral motor and sensory neurons, and can involve the entire neuron as well as part of it. Exogenous administration of CCK-8 and analogues thereof has been shown to induce the cellular production of neurotrophic factors, especially NGF, which can treat neuropathic states in the peripheral nervous system. Accordingly, the present invention relates to the use of a substance showing CCK-8 activity for the treatment of neuropathies in the peripheral nervous system, as well as a pharmaceutical composition comprising a substance showing CCK-8 activity. |
