Is there a way to redo friction on foam rubber? [View all]

This is the black foam rubber padding on a bedside rail. It's gotten a bit shiny and slick, and the user can't rely on it for support without worrying her hand will slide off since there's far less friction than when it was new. It can't be replaced, so I'm wondering if anything can be done to make it provide some "grip" again?
