Brief Answer:
No proof of efficacy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Memantine is useful in Alzheimer's disease and in anxiety disorders. There's no proof that it works for neural pain. A good medicine for nerve pain is Neurontin.

Do get back to me if you have further questions.
