Present study gives following conclusions: 1). Pain scores improvement (decrease) was highest in amitriptyline followed by venlafaxine followed by bupropion. 2). QOL scores improvement (decrease) was highest in venlafaxine followed by bupropion and least in amitriptyline. 3). NCVs (m/s) improvement (increase) was highest in amitriptyline in all the studied nerves except RCPN. 4).
