What is an Axonotmesis? The term “axonotmesis” describes the anatomical disruption of an axon that does not, or only partially, disturb the framework of connective tissue. Axonotmesis is a condition in which a peripheral nerve in one of the body’s limbs is injured. This type of injury results in damage to the axons and their…
The mildest type of peripheral nerve injury, known as neurapraxia, is frequently caused by focal demyelination or ischemia. Neurapraxia makes nerve impulse conduction harder in the damaged location. There is either whole or partial loss of motor and sensory conduction. When you have neurapraxia, you experience burning, stinging, and pain due to damage to your peripheral…
A rare disorder known as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) causes the patient’s immune system to target the peripheral nerves. Although it can affect individuals of all ages, adults and men have a greater probability of being impacted. Even among those with the most severe forms of Guillain-Barré syndrome, the majority of patients fully recover. Although severe Guillain-Barré…
Nerve injury is nerve impairment caused by different processes, including compression, stretching, laceration, or burning. It can be classed based on whether the nerve fibers are severed or intact, which affects the prognosis and the requirement for medical treatment. What is Nerve? Types of Nerve You have two major types of nerves: Two primary types of…
Genitofemoral neuralgia is a chronic condition that affects the genitofemoral nerve, characterized by sharp, burning, or aching pain in these areas, often triggered by movements, pressure, or prolonged sitting. The genitofemoral nerve can become irritated or compressed due to various factors, including surgery, trauma, or certain medical conditions. Diagnosis can be challenging due to the…
Meralgia paresthetica is a medical condition that causes burning, tingling, and numbness in the outer thighs. The nerve that supplies feeling to the skin of the thigh is compressed, which is the reason behind it. Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve entrapment is another name for meralgia paresthetica. Meralgia paresthetica has been connected to numerous diseases, such…
Introduction Ilioinguinal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the ilioinguinal nerve, which runs from the lower abdomen through the groin. This nerve can become irritated or damaged due to various causes, such as surgery, trauma, or infection. This nerve feels the lower abdomen and upper thighs by running across them. It can cause…
The disease known as intercostal neuralgia is characterized by neuropathic pain in the intercostal nerves, which are the nerves that run throughout the abdomen and rib cage. Numerous illnesses could be the reason, such as physical trauma, cancer, inflammatory diseases, and infections. Neuropathic pain can be caused by injury or inflammation of the somatosensory nerves. It…
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome is the most prevalent cause of stomach-related pain in both adults and children. When the muscle pinches or traps the anterior cutaneous abdominal nerves inside the abdominal wall, a condition develops. The ‘entrapment’ of lower thoracic intercostal nerves (7–12) in abdominal muscles is the cause of the intense localized nerve pain…
Vagus nerve dysfunction may result from the vagus nerve’s inability to properly regulate several physiological functions. The vagus nerves transmit signals to your heart, brain, and digestive system. Your parasympathetic nervous system depends on it. Food not passing through your intestines, or gastroparesis can be caused by vagus nerve damage. Some people with vasovagal syncope faint because of…
