Important Points About Peripheral Neuropathy That You Need To Know

Treating Mononeuropathies

If neuropathy a result of the compression of a single nerve, treatment is similar no matter what nerve it may be. Treatment is based on whether the compression is fixed or transient. A palsy of the ulnar, radial or peroneal nerve could be transient and reversible just by deflecting the nerve compression. For instance, a person with ulnar nerve palsy must never rely on the affected elbow. Heat and a drug course could be of much help. In carpal tunnel syndrome, conservative therapy involves ultrasound, wrist splinting, oral or injected corticosteroid drugs, etc.
