central nervous system, neuropathy, isolated, mononeuropathy involves loss of movement, sensation to an area, damage to a single nerve, nerve group, mononeuropathy involves damage, destruction of an isolated nerve, nerve group, a type of peripheral neuropathy, damage to nerves outside the brain, spinal cord, mononeuropathy, often, damage to a local area resulting from injury, trauma, occasionally systemic disorders, isolated nerve damage, mononeuritis multiplex, usual causes, direct trauma, prolonged pressure on the nerve, compression, the nerve by swelling, injury to nearby body structures, damage includes destruction, the myelin sheath, covering, the nerve, the nerve cell, axon, damage slows, prevents conduction of impulses, the nerve, mononeuropathy, involve any part, the common forms of mononeuropathy, sciatic nerve dysfunction, common peroneal nerve dysfunction, radial nerve dysfunction, ulnar nerve dysfunction, cranial mononeuropathy vi, cranial mononeuropathy vii, cranial mononeuropathy iii, compression type, cranial mononeuropathy iii, diabetic type, axillary nerve dysfunction, carpal tunnel syndrome, femoral nerve dysfunction, tibial nerve dysfunction, impairment of sensation, body part supplied by a specific nerve, numbness, decreased sensation, tingling, burning, pain, abnormal sensations, loss of sensation, impairment of movement in one muscle supplied by a specific nerve, weakness, paralysis, total loss of movement, isolated to one location, neuromuscular examination, the affected area, indicate which nerve is involved, reflexes abnormal, in the area, isolated to one nerve area, mononeuropathy, emg, a recording of electrical activity in muscles, nerve conduction tests, nerve biopsy, testing is guided by the suspected cause, the dysfunction, suggested by the history, pattern of symptom development, testing, various blood tests, x-rays, scans, treatment is aimed at maximizing the ability, use the affected body part, no treatment, recovery is spontaneous, vascular lesions, injuries to an artery, affect a single nerve, in these cases the cause, the vasculopathy, high blood pressure, diabetes, no history of trauma, conservative treatment is indicated, there was sudden onset, minimal sensation changes, no difficulty in movement, no test results indicating degeneration, the nerve axon, corticosteroids injected, reduce swelling, pressure on the nerve surgical intervention is indicated symptoms, entrapment, the nerve, surgical removal of lesions that press on the nerve, help control of symptoms, over-the-counter analgesics, prescription pain medications needed to control pain, neuralgia, various other medications, reduce the stabbing pains that some people experience, gabapentin, phenytoin, carbamazepine, tricyclic antidepressants amitriptyline, whenever possible, use of these drugs, avoided, minimized to reduce the risk of medication side effects, physical therapy exercises appropriate, people to maintain muscle strength, orthopedic assistance, maximize the ability, use the affected body part, the use of braces, splints, appliances, vocational counseling, occupational therapy, occupational changes, job retraining, similar interventions recommended, mononeuropathy is rarely fatal, disabling, painful, the nerve dysfunction, successfully treated, possibility of full recovery, extent of disability, from no disability to partial, complete loss of movement, sensation, nerve pain quite uncomfortable, persist, prolonged period of time, recurrent, unnoticed injury, due to lack of sensation, mild to severe deformity, decreased self-esteem, medication side effects, symptoms of nerve dysfunction, early diagnosis, treatment increase the chance of controlling symptoms, avoiding pressure, traumatic injury, prevent many forms of mononeuropathy, treating underlying medical conditions high blood pressure, diabetes also decreases risk of developing the condition.
