- Low evidence3 studies
Across 3 studies, 2 reported beneficial effects of acetyl-carnitine on neuropathic pain, with moderate effect sizes in clinical populations. One systematic review found neutral results for magnesium and St. John's wort but did not specifically isolate acetyl-carnitine effects. The median study duration was 56 days, suggesting effects may be observed at around 8 weeks. No consistent dose or form was identified across studies.
