- Acute and Sub-acute Peripheral Neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy, in its most common form, causes pain and numbness in your hands and feet. The pain typically is described as tingling or burning, while the loss of sensation often is compared to the feeling of wearing a thin stocking or glove.

Symptoms Peripheral neuropathy - Symptoms. Symptoms vary according to the type of peripheral neuropathy and may develop quickly or slowly. In many cases, someone with peripheral neuropathy may have more than one of these types at the same time. A combination of sensory and motor neuropathy is particularly common (sensorimotor polyneuropathy).

Peripheral Neuropathy Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Medications While diabetes and postherpetic neuralgia are the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy, often times no cause is found. In these situations, it is referred to as idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. Sometimes, peripheral nerve entrapments, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, are considered peripheral neuropathies.

Peripheral Neuropathy The inherited peripheral neuropathies are divided into the hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies, hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP), and other miscellaneous rare types, (for example, hereditary brachial plexopathy, hereditary sensory autonomic neuropathies).

Peripheral neuropathy In the most common form, length-dependent peripheral neuropathy, pain and parasthesia appears symmetrically and generally at the terminals of the longest nerves, which are in the lower legs and feet. Sensory symptoms generally develop before motor symptoms such as weakness.

Types of Peripheral Neuropathy - Inflammatory Peripheral neuropathy may occur as a result of having vasculitis. Vasculitis can be caused by infection of the blood vessel walls or an immune or allergic reaction in the vessel wall. The first cause is rare. When it occurs, bacteria, viruses or fungi infect the blood vessel.

Overview The signs and symptoms of diabetic neuropathy vary, depending on the type of neuropathy and which nerves are affected. Peripheral neuropathy is the most common form of diabetic neuropathy. Your feet and legs are often affected first, followed by your hands and arms.

About Peripheral Neuropathy - What Is Peripheral Neuropathy? Peripheral neuropathy can affect multiple nerves (polyneuropathy) or only one nerve or nerve group (mononeuropathy) at a time. Mononeuropathy is usually the result of damage to a single nerve or nerve group by trauma, injury, local compression, prolonged pressure, or inflammation. Examples include:

- In diabetic neuropathy, one of the most common forms of peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage occurs in an ascending pattern. The first nerve fibers to malfunction are the ones that travel the furthest from the brain and the spinal cord.

Types of Peripheral Neuropathy - Inflammatory Types of Peripheral Neuropathy - Inflammatory. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder characterized by slowly progressive weakness and a loss of sensation in the legs and arms. CIDP is more common in young adults, and it affects men more than women.

Neuropathy Types of Neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy: Peripheral neuropathy is when the nerve problem affects the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. These nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system. Accordingly, peripheral neuropathy is neuropathy that affects the nerves of the extremities- the toes, feet, legs, fingers, hands, and arms. The term proximal neuropathy has been used to refer to nerve damage that specifically causes pain in the shoulders, thighs, hips, or buttocks. Cranial neuropathy: Cranial neuropathy occurs when any of the twelve cranial nerves (nerves that exit from the brain directly) are damaged.

- Types of Peripheral Neuropathy-Inflammatory. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that is characterized by inflammation, pain, and loss of function in the joints.heumatoid arthritis may flare up and suddenly go into remission, or it can be a constant debilitating and painful condition. Some rheumatoid arthritis patients will develop carpal tunnel syndrome or other mild forms of peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral Nerve Disorders The following are the major types of peripheral neuropathy: 1  Neuropathy is the disease of the nervous system in which there is a disturbance in the function of a nerve or particular group of nerves. 2  The three major forms of nerve damage are: peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and mononeuropathy.

- Diabetic neuropathy can be classified as peripheral, autonomic, proximal, or focal. Each affects different parts of the body in various ways. Peripheral neuropathy, the most common type of diabetic neuropathy, causes pain or loss of feeling in the toes, feet, legs, hands, and arms. Autonomic neuropathy causes changes in digestion, bowel and bladder function, sexual response, and perspiration.

Peripheral Neuropathy There are over 100 types of PN and many different causes for it. They include injury, inherited diseases, chronic conditions, infections, medicines, lack of vitamins or HIV itself. A common example of PN is carpal tunnel syndrome. Peripheral neuropathy can be due to damage to the coating (myelin) of the nerve endings. The damage may also be due to a breakdown of the nerve endings themselves. Some chronic conditions can also cause PN, like diabetes, arthritis and lupus, as well as some viral infections, like CMV or herpes.

Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy -- the Basics Types of Peripheral Neuropathy. There are several different kinds of peripheral neuropathies that stem from a variety of causes. They range from carpal tunnel syndrome (a traumatic injury common after chronic repetitive use of the hands and wrists, such as with computer use) to nerve damage linked to diabetes.

Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy is a type of damage to the nervous system. Specifically, it occurs when there is a problem with your peripheral nervous system, the network of nerves that transmits information from your central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord) to the rest of your body.
