Is nerve damage serious? What causes nerve damage?

Nerve damage is severe.

It includes peripheral nerve damage and central nervous system damage.

When the nerve is damaged, the injured location will have problems such as inflexibility, numbness, and in severe cases, there will be no sensation.

If the tendon reflexes are weakened or disappear, it will directly affect the normal walking of the patient.

Therefore, the patient should go to the hospital for examination in time after the injury, and then carry out the corresponding ** according to the cause.

Serious nutrition, movement, sensory and other aspects can occur in the area of nerve damage, and the main cause of this disease is external force pulling the damaged area of the patient, or because of the trauma causing nerve damage in the area.

When this happens, the patient should go to the hospital in time to receive **, if the best ** period is missed, the recovery effect will become very poor, and if the condition is allowed to continue to be serious, it may endanger their own life.

Nerve damage can be relieved somewhat by taking Chinese medicine.

There are many causes of nerve injury, including ischemic nerve injury and long-term nerve damage caused by mechanical traumatic compression, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or cervical spondylosis caused by cervical disc herniation compressing nerve roots. Immune-related nerve injury is also a common cause, such as acute inflammatory demyelinating disease (commonly referred to as Guillain-Barré syndrome) that occurs in motor nerve roots. In addition, poisoning and infection can lead to nerve damage.

Certain metabolic diseases, such as peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes, are also common causes of nerve damage.

Extended information] Nerve injury refers to a variety of ** caused by peripheral nerve or central nervous system lesions, some patients may be due to the existence of some metabolic diseases, such as diabetic patients, easy to cause peripheral nerve damage, and some patients if there is trauma, such as fractures, easy to lead to ulnar nerve, radial nerve, sciatic nerve and other nerves damage.

In some patients, if there are lesions of the central nervous system, such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, infection of the central nervous system, intracranial metastases or primary central nervous system tumors or craniocerebral trauma, etc., it may lead to nervous system damage, and patients will have corresponding symptoms.

In the case of peripheral nerve damage, these patients often experience pain, numbness, and weakened limb strength in areas where the nerves are distributed.

Nerve injury includes central nervous system injury and peripheral nerve injury, central nervous system injury mainly refers to nerve damage to the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve injury such as nerve injury in the limbs belongs to the category of peripheral nerve injury, nerve injury mainly includes conservative and surgery, conservative is mainly the application of neuroprotective agents and the application of improving circulation for nerve function, and cranial nerve function can be restored, if it cannot be recovered, surgery may be required**, For example, optic nerve damage and auditory nerve damage are possible. Nerve injuries include central nervous system injuries and peripheral nerve injuries

Clause. 1. Active movement disorder, after peripheral nerve injury, the muscles innervated by it are actively dyskinesia, muscle tone also disappears, often flaccid paralysis, after nerve trunk injury, there is a loss of balance between the paralyzed muscles and the antagonistic muscles, dynamic deformity can occur, the longer the injury, the more obvious the deformity, it must be pointed out that contractures and deformities are completely different.

Clause. 2. Sensory dysfunction, after peripheral nerve injury, the sensation in the ** area innervated by its sensory fibers should disappear, but the distribution of ** sensory nerves is reset to each other, and the sensory hypoesthesia area is formed at the beginning and becomes the intermediate area.

Clause. 3. Reflex loss, after the peripheral nerve is completely disconnected, all the reflexes conducted by it disappear, but the reflex activity will also disappear when some nerves are damaged, so the reflex activity disappears cannot be used as an evaluation index of the severity of nerve injury.

Neuropathic injuries include cranial nerve injury and peripheral nerve injury. There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves, and different symptoms appear after injury, olfactory nerve damage can produce olfactory impairment, and optic nerve damage can lead to vision loss and even blindness. Oculomotor nerve, trochlear nerve, and abducens nerve damage may cause symptoms such as eye movement disorders, drooping eyelids, and double vision.
