Peripheral Neuropathy

 

Peripheral neuropathy describes damage to the peripheral nervous system, which transmits information from the brain and spinal cord to every other part of the body.

 

Over one hundred types of peripheral neuropathy have been identified. Impaired function and symptoms depend on the type of nerves -- motor, sensory, or autonomic -- that are damaged. Some people may experience temporary numbness, tingling, and pricking sensations, sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness. Others may suffer more extreme symptoms, including burning pain (especially at night), muscle wasting, paralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction. Peripheral neuropathy may be either inherited or acquired.

 

Causes of acquired peripheral neuropathy include physical injury to a nerve, tumors, toxins, autoimmune responses, nutritional deficiencies, alcoholism, and vascular and metabolic disorders. Some firms of peripheral neuropathy are inherited.

 

No medical treatments exist that can cure inherited peripheral neuropathy. However, there are therapies for many other forms.

 

In acute neuropathies, such as Guillain-Barrι syndrome, symptoms appear suddenly, progress rapidly, and resolve slowly as damaged nerves heal. In chronic forms, symptoms begin subtly and progress slowly.
