High glucose variability in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) strongly predicted slowed nerve conduction velocity, a forerunner of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, in a recent study.

Symptoms attributable to neuropathy were present in five (15%) patients. They were generally mild and not disabling. Seven (21%) patients had clinical signs of peripheral neuropathy. Sensory ...

In euthyroid patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), relatively higher free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels within the normal range were linked to a lower risk for diabetic peripheral neuropathy and better ...

RA can hurt your peripheral nerves, which are part of the peripheral nervous system. That’s the communication system that helps your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) send and receive ...

To measure each subject’s nerve conduction velocity for their study, researchers Jason DeFreitas (pictured far right) and JoCarol Shields used nerve conduction tests that stimulated the nerves in the ...

An inability to distinguish between CIDP and POEMS syndrome can negatively affect treatment strategies and outcomes. A 2-step protocol using conduction block and maximum/minimum cross-sectional area ...

On April 28, 2025, Jasmine Thum, M.D., M.S. assistant professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Neurosurgery and Department of Biomedical Engineering, hosted a peripheral ...

"The pathologic mechanisms leading to moderate enlargement and marked enlargement might be different, thus making different responses to steroids and IVIG. More work should be done to explore the ...

Peripheral neuropathy symptoms often begin with pain or tingling in the hands and feet. Peripheral neuropathy is not common in children. Early diagnosis gives a better chance of reversing nerve damage ...
