Neuropathy affects over 350 million people worldwide, shows a recent study published in the Journal of Peripheral Nervous System Disorders. Its widespread prevalence highlights the need for more education and resources to help sufferers manage the condition effectively, and Valleant’s guide has been written to help address this gap.

“Neuropathy is a complex condition that demands comprehensive understanding and management,” said a Valleant spokesperson. “This guide underscores our dedication to providing individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to improve their quality of life.”

According to the guide, neuropathy – the medical term for nerve damage – comes in various forms, each with distinct causes and symptoms.

Peripheral neuropathy affects nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, causing pain, tingling, or muscle weakness in the hands and feet, while autonomic neuropathy impacts autonomic nerves, disrupting essential functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion.

A third type, focal neuropathy, targets specific nerves, leading to localized pain or weakness. Finally, proximal neuropathy can affect nerves in the hips or thighs, resulting in sudden, severe pain and muscle weakness.

The guide goes on to explain how factors such as chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes), viral infections, exposure to toxins, chronic stress, and certain medications can contribute to nerve damage. By identifying root causes, individuals can better understand their condition and explore appropriate care options.

Valleant’s team of experts emphasizes early detection and proactive management as key strategies for mitigating neuropathy’s effects. Readers also get practical advice for healthy lifestyle changes, like adopting proper nutrition and regular exercise habits, limiting alcohol consumption, and managing chronic conditions like diabetes.

In many cases, medical interventions may be advisable, including exploring medications, physical therapy, and trying alternative treatments such as acupuncture.
