A classical term for any disorder affecting any segment of the nervous system. In contemporary usage, a disease involving the cranial or spinal nerves.
A general term used to describe dysfunction of peripheral nerves.
Disorder of nerves causing loss of sensation and reflexes and/or burning or stabbing pain, especially at night. See Chapter 12.
Malfunction of a nerve, often causing numbness (sensory nerve) or weakness (motor nerve). It is sometimes a side effect of chemotherapy drugs.
Diabetic neuropathy can result when there is a failure to deliver glucose to the nerves resulting in free radicals which damage the nerve fibers. Many of our sugarcats with neuropathy have found relief with Methylcobalamin.
Nerve injury. Peripheral (in the extremities) neuropathy, is often described as numbness, tingling, burning or pain in the hands and feet.
Any functional or pathologic disturbance in the peripheral nervous system.
A general term for any dysfunction in the peripheral nervous system. Symptoms include pain, muscle weakness, numbness, loss of coordination and paralysis. This condition may result in permanent disability.
A side-effect of some forms of chemo that causes numbness or tingling in body extremities.
The name given to a group of disorders involving nerves. Symptoms range from a tingling sensation or numbness in the toes and fingers to paralysis. Can be a result of HIV infection itself or of antiretroviral therapy. It is estimated that 35% of persons with HIV disease have some form of neuropathy. [See Peripheral Neuropathy
any disease, inflamation, or abnormality of a nerve.
damage to the nerves; an inflammatory or degenerative condition of the nervous system. See also peripheral neuropathy.
disease, inflammation, or damage to the nerves connecting the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body
Damage to nerves. Diabetic neuropathy is a family of nerve disorders caused by diabetes. The type seen most often in cats is peripheral neuropathy, which effects the small nerves in the feet and legs, leading to your cat walking strangely, in a "plantigrade" manner. Once the blood glucose levels are brought under control, a number of owners of diabetic cats have noticed great improvements in their cats legs when methylcobalamin is given to their pets. See the Associated Conditions page for further information.
any noninflammatory disease of peripheral nerves
An abnormal and usually degenerative state of the nervous system or nerves.
Damage to nerve tissues. Neuropathy is one of the possible long-term complications of having diabetes. Nerve damage can effect many parts of the body. Neuropathy often cases pain in the feet or legs or tingling or numbness in those areas. Other effects of neuropathy can cause double vision, diarrhea, poor digestion, and loss of response during sexual activity.
Any abnormal condition marked by swelling and wasting of nerves.
condition resulting from damage to the peripheral nerves that results in weakness or sensory loss and pain in the arms, hand, legs, and feet
Nerve damage. It can be caused by diabetes. It can also be caused by uremia, or a build-up of toxins in the body. Too little dialysis over time can lead to nerve damage. Neuropathy can cause weakness, burning, tingling, and numbness, especially in the feet and lower legs, but also in the hands.
Damage to the nervous system. Peripheral neuropathy affects the motor nerves that control walking. Sensory neuropathy impairs the nerves that control touch, sight, and pain perception. Autonomic neuropathy affects the nerves involved in such involuntary functions as digestion.
damage to the nerves. Neuropathies are often broken down into two categories. Peripheral neuropathies affect the nerves controlling sensation (and less commonly, muscles) in the feet, hands, and joints. Autonomic neuropathies affect the nerve function of various organs, including those of the digestive system and urinary tract.
A problem with the nervous system.
nerve damage. People who have had diabetes for a long time may develop nerve damage.
a general term denoting disturbances in the peripheral nervous system
An inflammation or degeneration of the peripheral nerves that can produce impaired sensation or pain in your feet and hands, carpal tunnel syndrome, slow digestion of food, impotence and other problems. It occurs because of problems with the transmission of nerve impulses, and can range from mild to severe.
Disease of the nervous system.
Diseases or disorders affecting the cranial nerves or the peripheral or autonomic nervous systems.
disease or dysfunction of peripheral nerves. Neuropathy typically causes numbness of the feet in a so-called “stocking” distribution.
A problem in peripheral nerve function (any part of the nervous system except the brain and spinal cord) that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, and muscle weakness in various parts of the body. Neuropathies may be caused by physical injury, infection, toxic substances, disease (e.g., cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, or malnutrition), or drugs such as anticancer drugs. Also called peripheral neuropathy.
Abnormal functioning of nerves.
Disturbance of function or pathologic change in a nerve.
Malfunction or disease pathology of nerves. Peripheral neuropathy refers to a disease or degenerative state of peripheral nerves resulting in pain, numbness, and sometimes muscle weakness.
Nerve condition that affects peripheral nerve function (parts of the nervous system besides the brain and spinal cord). Neuropathy causes pain, tingling, numbness, swelling and muscle weakness. Injury, infection, toxic substances, drugs (such as anticancer drugs), or diseases (such as cancer, diabetes, kidney failure or malnutrition) can cause neuropathy.
No longer an active profession, neuropathy was a system of healing based upon massage and manipulation of the nerves of the body. Edgar Cayce made numerous referrals to neuropathic physicians, particularly in cases requiring gentle treatment of the nervous system to make corrections, coordinate the nervous systems and set up drainages.
Disease, inflammation or damage to the peripheral nerves, which connect to the spinal cord and brain, or central nervous system. Most neuropathies arise from damage to the axons or their myelin sheaths.
(nur- ah-puth-ee): nerve abnormality or damage which causes numbness, tingling, pain, muscle weakness, or even swelling. It may be caused by injury, infection, disease (cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, or poor nutrition, for example), or by drugs. Peripheral neuropathy is a type of neuropathy that starts in nerves farthest away from the brain, such as the feet.
Damage to the nerve fibres caused by diabetes. Long nerves are most affected and so the process is usually first noticed in the feet with a numbness and loss of sensation.
A group of symptoms caused by abnormalities in motor or sensory nerves. Symptoms include tingling or numbness in hands or feet followed by gradual, progressive muscular weakness.
Group of symptoms caused by abnormalities in sensory or motor nerves. Symptoms include tingling and numbness in hands or feet, followed by gradually progressive muscular weakness. The three major forms of nerve damage are: peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and mononeuropathy. The most common form is peripheral neuropathy, which mainly affects the feet and legs.
A general term that refers to changes in the peripheral nervous system.
