Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), also known as tic douloureux, is sometimes described as the most excruciating pain known to humanity.
Trigeminal neuralgia or tic douloureux is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal or fifth cranial nerve. It is one of the most painful conditions known.
Some common neurological pain syndromes include diabetic neuropathy, shingles, and radiculopathy from a pinched nerve.
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful and long-lasting condition. CRPS usually causes severe, constant, burning pain in the affected arm or leg. The cause of CRPS remains unknown. However, this condition can be triggered by damage to nerve fibers in tissue that has been injured.
Paroxysmal extreme pain disorder is a form of peripheral neuropathy characterized by skin redness and warmth (flushing) and attacks of severe pain in various parts of the body. Early in life, the pain is often concentrated in the lower part of the body and may be triggered by a bowel movement.
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) (formerly known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome) is a rare disorder characterized by chronic, severe pain.
Some of the most common neurological disorders include Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, migraines, multiple sclerosis, and stroke.
cancer. dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. advanced lung, heart, kidney and liver disease. stroke and other neurological diseases, including motor neurone disease and multiple sclerosis.
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) has long been believed to be a disorder that produces the most intense emotional pain and distress in those who have this condition. Studies have shown that borderline patients experience chronic and significant emotional suffering and mental agony.
Small sensory and autonomic fibres are affected in other hereditary diseases in which the genetic abnormality leads to accumulation of substances in or around small neurons of sensory and autonomic ganglia. Two such conditions are known for being particularly painful: Fabry's disease and familial amyloid neuropathy.
Numbness or decreased sensation in the area supplied by the nerve. Sharp, aching or burning pain, which may radiate outward. Tingling, pins and needles sensations (paresthesia) Muscle weakness in the affected area.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, rapidly worsening brain disorder that causes unique changes in brain tissue and affects muscle coordination thinking, and memory. There are about 350 cases per year in the U.S. The two main symptoms of CJD are: Severe mental deterioration and dementia.
1. Headache. Headaches are one of the most common neurological disorders—and there are a variety of different kinds of headaches, such as migraines, cluster headaches, and tension headaches.
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder in which your immune system mistakenly attacks part of the peripheral nervous system—the network of nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord.
Neurologists often diagnose and treat muscles disorders as well. Neurological disorders are common and can range from severe life-threatening conditions like stroke, hydrocephalus and meningitis to less harmful but almost always debilitating conditions, such as migraine, epilepsy and sleep disorders.
RPI Deficiency
This is considered to be the rarest disease in the world. Ribose-5-Phosphate Isomerase (RPI), is a crucial enzyme in a metabolic process in the human body. This condition can cause muscle stiffness, seizures, and reduction of white matter in the brain.
Idiopathic pain is also called pain of unknown origin. This is the term healthcare providers use for chronic (long-term) pain, lasting 6 months or longer, that has no identifiable cause. Although its origin is often a mystery, idiopathic pain is very real.
•Nerve damage outside the brain and spinal cord that causes pain or numbness. •Symptoms include muscle weakness, twitching or cramps, numbness, or lightheadedness.
