Résumé
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a medical disorder caused by damage to or disease affecting peripheral nerves, which may reduce sensation, movement, gland or organ function, or other parts of health, depending on the type of nerve affected. Peripheral nerves bring information to and from the brain. They also transfer signals to and from the spinal cord to the rest of the body. Peripheral neuropathy usually suggests that these nerves do not work properly.
Peripheral neuropathy may cause damage to a single nerve or nerve group. Peripheral neuropathy may be classified as genetic and acquired. Often, no cause can be found (idiopathic). A. Genetic: Some nerve diseases are inherited in families. Acquired Conditions that may cause neuropathy are:1. Traumatic injury to the nervea. Broken bone that affects a nerveb. Glue, lead, mercury, and solvent poisoningc.
Drugs that treat infections, cancer, seizures, and high blood pressured. Pressure on a nerve, such as from carpal tunnel syndromee. Being exposed to cold temperatures for a long period of timef. Pressure from bad-fitting casts, splints, a brace, or crutchesSymptoms are present:1. Pain and Numbness2. Muscle Problems3. Body Organs DisordersInvestigations:Electromyography and Nerve conduction studiesTreatment:People with diabetes should try to regulate their blood sugar and avoid alcohol drinksThe patient may have therapy to learn exercises to increase muscle strength and control.
Braces, splints, and wheelchairs may improve movement or the ability to use an arm or leg that has nerve damage. Medicines such as painkillers can reduce pain in the feet, legs, and arms but not numbnessMedicines can help with urine, abdominal and erection problemsThe patient may need surgery to remove pressure from a nerve. When a medical condition can be found and treated, the outlook may be excellent.
But sometimes, nerve damage can be permanent, even if after the cause is treated.
