NERVE DISEASE &DISORDERS
Neuropathies refer to a group of disorders that involve damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which are the crucial elements for transmitting and receiving signals between the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body. These conditions can affect sensory, motor, or autonomic nerves, leading to a wide range of symptoms and impairments.
Neuropathies disrupt the normal functioning of peripheral nerves, leading to various neurological symptoms, signs, and impairments. Depending on the type and location of nerve damage, neuropathies can cause pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, muscle wasting, coordination difficulties, and disturbances in autonomic functions
