Peripheral Nerves usually describe the peripheral nervous system. PNS system consists of a motor and sensory nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord and the central nervous to the rest body. It controls the function of movement and motor coordination. The disorders related to the peripheral nerve described as PNS disorders that occur due to injury, trauma or compression. Compression of the nerve is due to the tumour mas or injury. Sometimes surgery is the only option when this nerve suffers injury or trauma. Physical trauma is a common cause of injury to peripheral nerves.
Peripheral Neuropathy is the common condition that affects 2.4% of the total population. Hence its prevalence increases to 8% with growing age.
Diabetic Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy, a polyneuropathy disease which may be present 66% of type 1 diabetic patients as compared to 59% in type 2 diabetic patients.
