What is polyneuropathy?

Polyneuropathy is a neurological condition characterised by damage to several peripheral nerves. These nerves, which connect the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to the rest of the body, are responsible for transmitting sensations and motor commands. When these nerves are damaged, it can lead to a range of symptoms, from mild tingling to complete paralysis.

What causes polyneuropathy?

The causes of polyneuropathy are many and varied. They include

- Diabetes: This is one of the most common causes of polyneuropathy.

- Vitamin deficiencies: In particular vitamins B1, B6 and B12.

- Autoimmune diseases: Such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.

- Alcoholism: Excessive alcohol consumption can damage the nerves.

- Certain infections: Such as Lyme disease or HIV.

- Medicines: Some treatments can have neurotoxic side effects.

- Genetic diseases: Certain hereditary diseases can predispose to polyneuropathy.

- Poisoning: Exposure to certain toxic substances can damage the nerves.

What are the symptoms of polyneuropathy?

The symptoms of polyneuropathy vary depending on which nerves are affected and the underlying cause. The most common symptoms are

- Sensory disorders: tingling, pins and needles, burning, numbness, loss of feeling.

- Pain: Sharp, stabbing or burning pain.

- Muscle weakness: Difficulty walking, grasping objects.

- Problems with independence: Urinary or intestinal problems.

How is polyneuropathy diagnosed?

The diagnosis of polyneuropathy is based on :

- Clinical examination: The doctor asks the patient about their symptoms and carries out a neurological examination.

- Complementary examinations:

o Electromyogram (EMG): This examination assesses muscle and nerve function.

o Nerve conduction studies: These studies measure the speed of conduction of nerve signals.

o Nerve biopsy: In some cases, a small portion of nerve may be removed for microscopic examination.

o Blood tests: To look for underlying causes (diabetes, deficiencies, etc.).

What are the treatments?

Treatment for polyneuropathy aims to halt the progression of the disease and relieve symptoms. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the disease. Treatments may include

- Treatment of the underlying cause: For example, controlling diabetes or stopping alcohol consumption.

- Medication: To relieve pain, sensory disturbance and muscle weakness.

- Physiotherapy: To maintain muscle strength and mobility.

- Orthoses: To relieve pain and improve walking.

Sugar diabetes affects on the life quality,and first of all this is tie with neurology complications,so as rising quantity for glucose is a base reason for diabetic polyneuropathy,thus for a stopping disease display needing a sympathetic cure answers Neurologist Michailova. And in normal sugar stats in blood and displaying nerves damages.Degenerative processes are stopping, if patients using right all doctor s advices and glucose controlling,and aches fighting with prescribing remedies.And in first type diabetes use insulin as of injections, in 2 nd type use insulin preparations as of pills and injections too prescribing. As for a better feeding nerves use vitamins and antioxidants affecting on metabolism as vitamin E, coenzyme Q, vitamins groups B, rising manufacturing acetylcholine,which taking part in transfer nerve signals, vitamin B6 synthesizing a few elements are needing for transferring impulse, and not allow filling a free adicals , causing a damage tissues, B12  is a light analgetic,that restoring damage nerve membranes. And in a cure this diseases reflectivity are remedies of tioctic or lipoic acid as  neurolipon, tioctacid, tiogamma, berlition as for droppers as courses  for 2 times a year or of pills as on 600 mg dosage. They a filling effect, normalizing feeding for periphery nerves  and free radicals lowering forming. Ache having a neuropathic character and analgetics  are not always helping her weak,thus using remedies of groups anti convulsants as filepsin, carbamezepin, gabapeptin, pregabalin, anti depressants duloxetin, venlafaxin, ointment capsaicin, and antiseptic gels versatis .As for support a muscle tone and improve blood circulation a doctor can prescribe physiotherapy are magnet therapy, electer stimulant, massage for low extremities as improve blood circulation and help relieve ache syndrome. As for low risk neuropathy in diabetes control pressure, sugar level with glucometer, avoid smoking, alcohol drinking, use healthy life mode, as of right meal, as avoiding carbohydrates rich of candies,sweets, cakes, pastry.And visit endocrinologist as he will control tests blood, also advice visit neurologist, ophthalmologist, as if this a need ,that prevent complications a sugar diabetes as of vision organ, and nerve system.
