How Does LYRICA Help? LYRICA works by attaching to a part of the over-firing nerve cells. This is thought to help to reduce the pain signals that cause the symptoms of diabetic nerve pain. It can also be used “off label: that is for similar types of pain problems that the FDA has not examined or approved it for. In any case, this may reduce the nerve pain that can prevent the enjoyment of
