The brain’s capacity to interact with muscles and organs can be compromised by a nerve injury. Peripheral neuropathy is the term for damage to the peripheral nerves. In the case of a peripheral nerve injury, it’s critical to seek medical attention right once. Early diagnosis and proper treatment may reduce the risk of complications and permanent damage.
What is Polyneuritis? The simultaneous inflammation of several peripheral nerves throughout the body is the hallmark of a medical condition known as polyneuritis. Numerous symptoms, including numbness, discomfort, muscle weakness, and loss of reflexes, can be caused by this condition. When these nerves become inflamed, it disrupts normal nerve function, leading to a range of symptoms 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…
Hypoglossal nerve palsy or paralysis is an occasional but clinically serious disorder that results from affecting the hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII). The tongue’s intrinsic and extrinsic muscles, which are mostly supplied by this nerve, are essential for speaking, swallowing, and keeping the airway’s purity. These abilities can be severely impaired by damage to the hypoglossal nerve….
Sural neuritis, also known as sural neuralgia, is a painful disorder caused by irritation or damage to the sural nerve. The most common description of the pain is a burning feeling on the outside of the foot and ankle. It can happen after surgery on the feet and ankles or if there is a nerve injury. Using an…
An obturator nerve injury is damage to the obturator nerve, which originates in the lower back from the lumbar plexus. In the groin is where the obturator nerve is situated. Through the pelvis and into the inner thigh, the obturator nerve provides motor function and sensation to the muscles that aid adducting (bringing the legs together). This…
Radiculopathy is caused by the compression or irritation of a nerve root located in the spinal column. In the case of “Thoracic Radiculopathy,” the symptoms are caused by a disease process that occurs within the thoracic spine. What is a Thoracic Radiculopathy? Thoracic radiculopathy refers to a condition where the nerve roots in the thoracic (mid-back) region…
Spinal Accessory Nerve Palsy, also known as Accessory Nerve Palsy, is a neurological condition characterized by the dysfunction of the spinal accessory nerve (cranial nerve XI). This nerve is primarily responsible for innervating the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles, which are essential for head rotation, shoulder elevation, and certain movements of the neck and scapula. Damage…
