Injury

What is it?

  • Often, traumatic injuries like falls or sports injuries can cause painful peripheral nerve damage
  • Depending on the type of injury, it could cause a range of symptoms, potentially affecting small fibers, large fibers, and autonomic nerves
  • Treating the injury and using methods such as physical therapy and occupational therapy tend to help with such damage

How is it diagnosed?

  • Depending on the type of injury, diagnosis can be done through the following tests:
    • Electromyography (EMG)
    • Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) studies
    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • If an injury has caused damage to small nerve fibers, this can be diagnosed through cutaneous skin biopsies
  • Doctors may also diagnose based on patient medical history and how symptoms present
