Search Site: Search Web: HealingWell Medcenter Medifocus Guide Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral nerves are those outside the brain or spinal cord and include most of the cranial nerves, the spinal nerve roots, the dorsal root ganglia, the peripheral nerve trunks and their terminal branches, and the peripheral autonomic nervous system. Peripheral neuropathy (PN) results from damage to these peripheral nerves that may be due to several different causes. PN may affect persons of all ages, including children. The time course of a neuropathy varies, based on its underlying cause. With trauma or circulatory problems, the onset of symptoms will be acute, or sudden, with the most severe symptoms at the onset. Inflammatory and some metabolic neuropathies have a subacute course extending over days to weeks. A chronic course over weeks to months usually indicates a toxic or metabolic neuropathy. A chronic, slowly progressive neuropathy over many years occurs with most hereditary neuropathies or with a condition called chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Neuropathies with symptoms that relapse and remit include the Guillain-Barre syndrome. There is no one treatment to adequately, predictably and specifically control established neuropathic pain. However, there are a variety of medications available to help control the pain.

BA - Peripheral Neuropathy and Chemotherapy Peripheral Neuropathy (polyneuropathy)... ...a common side-effect of chemotherapyis there any solution? SUMMARY Peripheral neuropathy (or, polyneuropathy) is normally attributed to diabetes, thyroid problems, alcohol abuse, and consistent exposure to chemotherapy treatments. But it can likewise be attributed to the use of drugs other than chemotherapy agents. Notwithstanding multiple statements and advertisements proclaiming that statins are safe and vital to lowering cholesterol and preventing coronary events, contrary evidence exists that long-term exposure to statins may substantially increase the risk of/induce and exacerbate peripheral neuropathy by 15% in the first year and 26% for two or more years . Moreover, statins can contribute to suppression of our immune system and activation of helper T-cells (lymphocyctes produced in the thymus gland) ; likewise statins have been attributed to liver and kidney injury , as well as reduction in bone mineral density and resulting osteoporosis . Contrary to some studies that report statins as reducing the risks of advanced prostate cancer , other peer-reviewed studies question whether long-term use of statins actually cause cancer and report findings that statins do not provide a protection against breast or prostate cancer.

Another pal who is studying psychiatry has been told there is no pain with peripheral neuropathy. Why would he say this after I watched him suffer for 4 yrs? Iain Dr Trisha Macnair responds Your psychiatry student friend needs to check his notes! A peripheral neuropathy can be very painful indeed although once the nerve cells have been completely destroyed by the disease process, the final result may be total absence of sensation including pain in the affected area. What is a peripheral neuropathy? A peripheral neuropathy is simply disease, inflammation or damage to some of the nerves which join the sensory organs (in the skin and elsewhere), the muscles, glands and internal organs, to the central nervous system (i.e. the spinal cord and brain). Common causes include diabetes , dietary insufficiencies (e.g. B vitamin deficiencies)

J. Potter, 801 Commissioners Road East, London, ON N6A 4G5, Canada. Abstract Key words: amputation, diabetes, electromyography, neuropathy. INTRODUCTION Hypotheses We postulated that, in a group of persons with unilateral amputation, the incidence of PN and, in particular, sensory impairment would be greater in the intact limb of those with diabetes than in those without. We also postulated from clinical experience that the incidence of PN and sensory impairment in persons without diabetes would be present in the majority of this population. If such a sensory impairment were present in a large number of nondiabetic persons with amputation, then it is therefore important to consider this population at risk. Knowing the extent to which PN was present in such a population would provide a stronger argument for extending the preventative measures of limb care utilized in those persons with DM to all persons with amputation and clinical evidence of neuropathy, to prevent loss of the intact limb. Sensory and motor deficits are known to contribute to the incidence of foot ulceration and other lower extremity trauma, thereby increasing the risk of amputation. This study was undertaken to identify to what extent PN was present in a consecutive population of persons with unilateral amputation.

Peripheral nerve disease can be categorized as a mononeuropathy (a single nerve is affected) or polyneuropathy (multiple nerves are affected). Further, problems related to peripheral nerves can involve sensory, autonomic, or motor segments. In this article, manifestations of peripheral motor nerve disease will be addressed. Motor neuropathy is characterized by paresis, flaccidity, depressed or absent stretch and flexor withdrawal reflexes, and neurogenic muscle atrophy. Immature animals suffering from peripheral nerve disease frequently develop abnormal joint and limb deformities and contracture of muscles and tendons, and abnormal growth. Animals with motor neuropathy are often profoundly

Pollard Published August 1999 346 pages For price and ordering options, inspection copy requests, and reading lists please select: UK North America Peripheral neuropathies are diseases which affect the neuromuscular apparatus between the muscles or sensory receptors and connections in the spinal cord and the brain. They affect approximately 20-30% of children attending neuromuscular clinics. Uniquely, this text deals exclusively with such disorders in children and draws together the rapidly expanding but widely scattered knowledge in the field. It is a highly practical text, written by clinical neurologists with long experience in physiology, histopathology and management of neuropathy. This new edition retains the basic structure of its successful predecessor and continues to be liberally illustrated with real case histories. However, extensive revisions and expansion of the text have enabled it to encompass the major developments over the past seven years, including particularly recent advances in molecular biology and therapy of metabolic and inflammatory neuropathies.

Return HIV-Related Peripheral Neuropathy Improves with Oral L-Acetyl Carnitine By Harvey S. Bartnof, MD Peripheral neuropathy (numbness/tingling/burning in the feet and sometimes, hands) occurs in up to one-third of persons with HIV infection. Any one of three NRTI (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor) drugs also can cause the condition. Those are the so-called "d drugs," including ddC (Hivid, zalcitabine), ddI (Videx, didanosine) and d4T (Zerit, stavudine). Peripheral neuropathy also is caused by diabetes, the antibiotics dapsone and isoniazid (INH), vitamin B12 deficiency, chronic alcoholism, leprosy and those who have had cancer chemotherapy with vincristine. In HIV, peripheral neuropathy is associated with toxicity to "mitochondria," (energy producing component of cells) which may be caused to varying degrees by drugs within the NRTI class. Persons with HIV who develop the condition and who are taking any of the "d drugs" in the NRTI class usually will notice an improvement within several months after the offending drug(s) is discontinued. Current treatment is directed at easing the symptoms, including Elavil (amitriptyline), Lamictal (lamotrigine, anti-seizure medication) or pain relievers (acetaminophen or Tylenol, NSAIDs [non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including Aleve, Naprosyn, Motrin, many others] and sometimes prescription narcotics. Experimental recombinant (manufactured) human nerve growth factor and acupuncture each have also led to improvement of symptoms. The medical term for peripheral neuropathy is "distal symmetrical polyneuropathy."

Return Videx EC Peripheral Neuropathy Combining Videx EC with Zerit or Hivid, which are also associated with the development of peripheral neuropathy, may increase the risk of developing peripheral neuropathy, and, for this reason, the combination of Videx EC with Hivid is not recommended and should generally be avoided. Pain medications may help to relieve the symptoms of neuropathy. Tricyclic antidepressants such as Elavil (amitriptyline) may have some benefit in treating peripheral neuropathy, although this benefit is generally limited. Anti-seizure medications such as Neurontin (gabapentin) and Lamictal (phenyltriazine) may also provide some relief from peripheral neuropathy symptoms. Some people also find acupuncture helpful. Local treatment with a salve or tincture can help symptoms that occur in the mouth. HIV and Hepatitis.com

Peripheral Neuropathy is a generic phrase denoting functional disturbances and/or pathological changes in the peripheral nervous system. If the involvement is in one nerve it is commonly referred to as mononeuropathy , in several nerves, mononeuritis multiplex and if diffuse and bilateral, polyneuropathy The treatment of Peripheral Neuropathy is dependent on diagnosing the underlying cause; therefore early recognition and intervention is paramount. If the neuropathy is diagnosed quickly then there is likely to be less damage to the nerves and obviously an increased chance that the neuropathy can be slowed down, halted or reversed. Diabetic neuropathy One of the most common known causes of Peripheral Neuropathy is diabetes mellitus. It is estimated that approximately 10 per cent of diabetics develop neuropathic symptoms. In diabetes the development of neuropathy may be slowed down by close control of the underlying disorder.

It causes weakness, sensory loss and pain, which in severe cases can be debilitating. It is idiopathic in approximately one third of cases, caused by diabetes in another third, and the remainder have such diverse etiologies as autoimmunity, neoplasia, infections, nutritional deficiencies, toxins, trauma, or genetic defects. Patients with neuropathy have many medical needs. Proper diagnosis requires sophisticated electrophysiologic, radiologic, and blood testing capabilities. Therapy is both medical and supportive, and directed at alleviating the symptoms as well as treating the underlying disease. Most of these services are provided by the neurologist, whereas others require referral to other specialties. It is largely an outpatient disease, but it mostly effects and elderly population, and hospitalization is sometimes required for the underlying disease, or for neuropathic complications such as bony fractures from falls, or foot ulcerations and infections in patients with diabetes.

Tingling hands or feet + pain + hypersensitivity + numbness = peripheral neuropathy. But it is part of the recipe of life for many Americans. Peripheral neuropathy is not a specific disease but a combination of several conditions that damage the peripheral nerves that carry signals between the brain and the muscles and skin. It often causes pain, tingling, hypersensitivity, or numbness in an arm or leg. There are many causes for peripheral neuropathy, and age is one of them. Three to four percent of Americans over the age of 55 are affected by this multi-symptom condition. Other causes include Lyme disease, HIV, alcoholism, B12 deficiency, or diabetes. In fact, diabetes is one of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy. "When I examine an older person and see some of the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, I look at how it will affect that person's ability to function on a day-to-day basis," says Matthew Lanternier, M.D., UI Family Care, Southeast Iowa City. "Does it affect the number of falls the patient has or what they are capable of doing for themselves."
