Peripheral neuropathy is a problem with the peripheral nervous system, which includes all the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system controls movement, sensations, and hormone release. Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by diabetes, chemotherapy, certain medications, infections, inherited diseases, and traumatic injuries. The most common symptom of peripheral neuropathy is pain, which can be severe and debilitating.
There is no cure for peripheral neuropathy, but there are treatments that can help improve symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. Traditional management strategies for peripheral neuropathy include pain medication, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and lifestyle changes.
Additionally, new therapies such as electrical stimulation and stem cell transplants are being studied as potential treatment options. As research continues to uncover new information about peripheral neuropathy, more effective treatments will be developed to help improve the quality of life for those affected by this disease.
