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…
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…

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….
