Symptoms of sensory peripheral neuropathy The following symptoms may be present: Gradual numbness and tingling in the hands or feet (may spread to arms and legs) Burning pain Impaired ability to sense the position of one’s limbs Loss of balance and coordination [healthxchange.sg]

With oxaliplatin therapy, neurotoxicity usually presents as peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN), which in its persistent form is the main dose-limiting toxicity of oxaliplatin. [academic.oup.com]

Treatment: Treatment of sensory ataxia depends on the cause of the neuropathy. [pacificneuroscienceinstitute.org]

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]

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]

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. [stlouischildrens.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]

[…] by these etiologies overlap considerably. [journals.lww.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]

Prevention Peripheral neuropathies are preventable only to the extent that the underlying causes are preventable. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
