The presently claimed and disclosed invention(s) provides a therapeutically effective composition and method of inhibiting nerve cell transmission. In a preferred embodiment of the presently claimed and disclosed invention(s), the treatment of neuropathic pain utilizing terpene compounds isolated from plant essential oils or manufactured synthetically is detailed. These compounds, such as geraniol and citronellol, as well as chemical analogs thereof, used in combination or individually, can be used alone or in a composition with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in a suitable dosage form.

Composition and method for inhibition of nerve transmission

Compositions comprising terpene compounds for the treatment of negative sensory phenomena (NSP). Negative sensory phenomena is characterized by a decreased ability to sense light touch, pin prick, vibration, temperature, pain and/or reduced proprioception. The terpene compounds are preferably aromatic terpene compounds such as geraniol and citronellol and analogs thereof. The terpenes may also be used in combination. The terpenes are derived form plant essential oils or are manufactured synthetically.
