What Is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy - also known as peripheral neuropathy, polyneuropathy (to signify that it typically affects more than one nerve) and also simply as nerve pain - is a complication found in a number of different underlying conditions. When the underlying cause has not been diagnosed, doctors call it idiopathic neuropathy.

Neuropathy means damage to nerves in the peripheral nervous system, and so affects nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord - it does not include nerve damage in the central nervous system.1

Three main types of nerve can be involved in peripheral neuropathy:1

Autonomic nerves (not under conscious control, "automatic" or "involuntary" nerves)
Motor nerves
Sensory nerves.
Autonomic nerves regulate the automatic functions of the body - for example, heart rate and blood pressure, sweating, and so on. Motor nerves control the muscles of the body and are under our conscious control. And sensory nerves pass sensations from a part of the body to the brain, including information about cold, heat and pain.1

People often describe the pain of neuropathy as being a tingling or burning sensation. They also often describe a loss of sensation similar to what it would be like wearing a thin stocking or glove.2 There is more detail under Signs and symptoms below
