"nerve holds" and pressure points are at best unreliable, at worst don't work at all.
There are too many factors contributing to a real fight as opposed to compliant teaching in class. There are a few "sensative areas" that if you strike them then a person will be more hurt than others and certain "nerve clusters" that if cut into with a knife or sharp object you will do more harm but not with the naked fist or hand.
Nerve holds are unreliable because they involve tiny areas or specific grabs and holds that cannot accurately be reached in a fight with a fully resisting opponent and even if you got the hold exaclty (or the point) Adrenalin becomes a factor as your opponent is likely to not even feel it.

No martial arts teach nerve holds - this is a western concept. A few teach energy points, chi flow constrictions, kiai manipulation, things like that. It depends what you want to learn, and for what purpose. But if its to run up to your friends and knock them out, or to be good at fighting, martial arts are not for you. They are an art form, and need lots of training, dedication and self discipline to master.

Don't bother with that stuff. It's useless. People won't sit still and let you look around for nerve to hold on. Even if you apply it, they will feel pain for only few seconds then it will make them more mad. It also could put you in a bad situtation if you want to avoid your distance with the opponent or if your opponent have thick layer of fats or are faster.
Don't believe me? Try grab some senstive spot such as behind your ear, at your armpit, etc... Hold on it for a few seconds and see if you can still move and see if pain still stay or goes away. My bet is you will find them useless after few seconds.

No martial art will teach this to beginners.
Advanced Wing Tsun (Chun) teaches pressure point manipulation and energy trapping / stealing.

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.
