Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, is a condition that results from damage to the peripheral nerves. These nerves are responsible for transmitting signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body. When these nerves are damaged, it can lead to a variety of symptoms that can significantly impact one’s quality of life.
Neuropathy can affect different types of nerves, including sensory nerves (which control sensation), motor nerves (which control muscle movement), and autonomic nerves (which control involuntary functions like blood pressure and heart rate). This condition can be caused by various factors and can manifest in different ways, making it a complex and often challenging condition to manage.
