Inflammation of nerve endings - symptoms and treatment of various forms of neuritis

Pain is the main signal that an unnatural, inflammatory process occurs in the body that affects one or another organ or system.

So, the inflammation of the nerve endings can cause a lot of pain and neurological problems - numbness and flaccid paralysis, loss of working capacity and so on.

Inflammation of nerve endings is an inflammatory process that takes place in the body and affects nerve fibers, endings and, as a consequence, neuritis develops.

Physicians distinguish two types of neuritis - the primary, which in turn is divided into catarrhal, tunnel or ischemic, and secondary, developing against other neurological pathologies, or as a consequence of their development.

From where do the roots of the problem grow?

Inflammation of the nerve endings can be triggered by various causes:

• external factors - is pinching, trauma, poisoning;
• internal factors - for such reasons include diabetes and pregnancy, overweight and rheumatism, failure in the endocrine system, infection and heredity.

But the main causes that can trigger inflammation of the nerve root are:

• hypothermia and infections that develop with colds;
• injury and malfunction of the circulatory system ;
• lack of vitamins in the body of the patient, especially the B vitamins, and alcohol poisoning , toxins or other harmful substances and heavy metals;
• problems with the work of endocrine glands - is diabetes mellitus or goiter.

Symptoms depending on the location of

Symptoms of inflammation depend on which particular nerve, its ending was affected. Nevertheless, physicians identify common symptoms that are common in the inflammation of the nerve endings:

• attacks of neuropathic pain , which are aggravated by physical exertion, hypothermia, or after a long stay in an uncomfortable position;
• loss of sensitivity and numbness of , tingling sensation and crawling along the body;
• inability to fully move the limbs of the , the muscles weaken, they can gradually atrophy, decrease in size;
• goes malfunctioning of the vascular system, internal glands of organs and systems , as a result of which the patient sweats excessively, cyanosis and swelling appear on the skin.

The narrower symptom of the inflammation of the nerve endings will depend on the type of neuritis and its site of localization:

1. Inflammation in the of the forearm of the - the elbow, ray or median nerve manifests itself as a malfunction in the mobility of the limb when the patient is unable to bend or move the armwith difficulty, badly moves his fingers. In parallel, pain and numbness or tingling along the nerve itself, in the place of development of inflammation develops.
2. Inflammation of ends - in this case the idea of ​​a violation in the ability to flex members in the hip and knee joint, the sensitivity of the dermis decreases, especially in the lower leg and foot, the muscles become flabby and weaken, decreasing in size.
3. Inflammation of ends of of the peroneal nerve leads to the fact that a person simply can not fully rely on heels, gait changes, lame development and shuffling develops.
4. Lesion of facial nerve endings - in this case the affected half of the face becomes more relaxed, asymmetry develops, eyes may not close, the patient is not able to control facial expressions, lips move worse.

Diseases arising on the background of nerve inflammation

Due to the fact that the inflammatory process is the infringement of the nerve endings - this can lead to the development of many neurological diseases. In particular, with inflammation of the nerve endings of one or another localization, the patient may develop the following symptoms:

1. Inflammation of the visual nerve root and as a consequence - the appearance of fog before the eyes, problems with visual acuity, pain when moving the eyeball.
2. The inflammatory process affecting the hearing aid - in this case the patient hears badly, it is disturbed by the noise in the ears. If the inflammatory process extends to the surrounding brain and the vestibular apparatus of the patient's nerve may be troubled by syncope and dizziness, nausea and vomiting, neurosensory hearing loss develops.
3. Inflammation of the nerve endings can lead to the defeat of the facial nerve and as a consequence the lower lip will be shifted downward, the eye gap widens, the patient loses the ability to control facial wrinkles.
4. Inflammation of the end of the radial nerve leads to the fact that the patient develops a hanging brush syndrome - the inability to unbend the forearm, wrists, on the back part of it the sensitivity is lost.
5. Inflammation of nerve endings affecting of the end of the tibia nerve leads to the development of the hip limb syndrome - the patient loses the ability to fully move and stand on the heels. His gait changes and there is muscle atrophy at the site of the inflammatory process and the infringement of the nerve end.
6. The inflammatory process and defeat of the end of of the shoulder nerve leads to attacks of pain in the joint, inability to fully move the hand, diagnoses muscle weakness, sensitivity of the dermis at the site of inflammation.
7. Solarium - we are talking about the inflammation of the end of the nerve of the solar plexus, there is a sharp pain in the chest.

As you can see, the inflammation of the nervous system can be localized anywhere - it can be both the eyes and shoulders, hands and feet, the solar plexus area, the face and the hearing aid.

The most common inflammation and, accordingly, the infringement of the end of the nerve process affects the facial, visual and tibial nerves - the nervous system permeates the entire body of the patient, which determines that the site of neuritis localization can be anything.

Diagnosis and treatment

The diagnosis involves a direct examination of the patient, anamnesis, a biomaterial is sampled for analysis - blood and

of urine. It is also necessary to send the patient to conduct electroneurography( assessment of nerve conduction), examination by a specialized specialist.

Proper and effective treatment begins with the elimination of the underlying cause that triggered the inflammatory process that affects the nerve endings:

• If the cause is , the infectious disease of the nervous system , the doctor prescribes a course of antibiotics, plus antiviral drugs such as Gamma globulin or Interferon.
• When developing ischemia - the doctor prescribes a course of drugs that stimulate the work and vasodilation, for example, Papaverin and Euphyllin.
• When traumatic nerve injury - during the treatment the doctor prescribes analgesics, as well as anti-inflammatory and anesthetic medications such as Ibuprofen and Diclofenac. On a mandatory basis, doctors prescribe drugs that remove puffiness, vitamin complexes, containing a large number of B vitamins. Finally, the patient is prescribed a course of physiotherapy - heating UHF, a course of therapeutic gymnastics and massage, which allows to restore and normalize the muscles.
• If there is strong infringement of the nervous ending - surgical intervention can be appointed or nominated, when neurosurgeons release the strangled ending or all nerve.

In the absence of timely diagnosis and treatment, the patient may develop the following negative consequences:

• a malfunction in the motor functions of the limbs, the whole body, until the development of complete or flaccid paralysis;
• disorder, total or partial loss of sensitivity, as well as the development of muscular tissue atrophy.
