Patients complained of dysesthesias and paresthesias in hands and feet. Clinically, there was progressive decrease or loss of tendon reflexes, decreased vibratory sense, and mild decrease in light touch and pin sensation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
People with sensory neuropathy may experience dysesthesia, which translates as abnormal sensation.[diabetes.co.uk]
The symptoms of CTS include decreased sensation in the radial digits (sparing the palm) along with potential dysesthesias provoked by wrist position (including at night).[dartmouth.edu]
My Response Presentation/Physical Findings The patient’s presentation is typical of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) that is characterized by tingling (71%), numbness (58%), and paresthesias or dysesthesias (45%), or spontaneous burning[hematology.org]
Rootlets with clonus reaction against intraoperative electrical stimulation show dysmyelination, and in one child, axonal degeneration can also be observed. Rootlets with normal reaction have only minimum changes on their myelin sheath.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of patients with B-group vitamins and folate produced rewarding results. Most patients improved significantly and less than 0.1% of them remained with sequelae; there were no fatal cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis The outcome for peripheral neuropathy depends heavily on the cause. Peripheral neuropathy ranges from a reversible problem to a potentially fatal complication. In the best cases, a damaged nerve regenerates.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
What You Need to Know There are more than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy, each with its own set of symptoms and prognosis. Peripheral neuropathy has many different causes.[hopkinsmedicine.org]
The prognosis of neuropathy can differ depending on the etiology.[opedge.com]
Types of peripheral neuropathy There are more than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy, each with its own set of symptoms and prognosis. To help doctors classify them, they are often broken down into the following categories: Motor neuropathy.[columbianeurology.org]
Since observed neuropathy is mainly on the myelin sheath, the etiology is considered to be the chronic overload of afferent impulses from muscle spindles in the spastic muscle.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
All 3 profiles were represented in each etiology evaluated, although there were differences in their distribution.[clinicalpainadvisor.com]
Mechanisms NT may have different mechanisms of action, depending on the etiology. For instance, when the sensory input is impaired or altered, the resulting misinformation may cause tremor despite the brain and spinal cord functioning correctly.[news-medical.net]
For epidemiological purposes, cases were classified as optic forms (CIR 242.39) or peripheral forms (CIR 219.25).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These 3 profiles may be related to pathophysiological mechanisms and may be useful in clinical trial design to enrich the study population for treatment responders,” the researchers wrote.[clinicalpainadvisor.com]
The number and type of intrinsic patterns—if reproducible—can then be related back to pathophysiological and pharmacological mechanisms in future studies.[journals.lww.com]
Their presentation varies depending on the underlying pathophysiology. The speed of progression of the polyneuropathy coupled with its nature (axonal or demyelinating) can help identify its aetiology.[rcemlearning.co.uk]
It is therefore predicted that such measurements may be usefully applied in ascertaining the extent of hemodialysis needed to prevent the development of this pathological state.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
