Peripheral neuropathies refer to a group of conditions affecting the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. These disorders disrupt normal nerve functioning, leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, and weakness, often in the hands and feet. Causes include diabetes, infections, and certain medications. Peripheral neuropathies can affect daily activities and diminish quality of life. Diagnosis involves clinical assessments and nerve conduction studies. Treatment aims to manage underlying causes and alleviate symptoms. Lifestyle modifications, medications, and physical therapy may aid in improving function and minimizing discomfort for individuals experiencing peripheral neuropathies.
