HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR NEURITIS
Neuritis, inflammation of one or more nerves. Neuritis can be
caused by injury, infection, or autoimmune disease. The characteristic symptoms
include pain and tenderness, impaired sensation, often with numbness or
hypersensitivity, impaired strength and reflexes, and abnormal circulation and
decreased ability to sweat in the distribution of the inflamed nerve or nerves. Although the termneuritis is sometimes used interchangeably
with neuropathy , the latter is an often painful condition that
is associated generally with nerve damage, dysfunction, or degeneration rather
than with inflammation alone. In some instances neuritis can progress to
neuropathy. One of the more common forms of the condition is optic neuritis .
Neuritis can affect one nerve (mononeuritis) or a plexus of nerves (plexitis). When several
single nerves are affected simultaneously, the condition may be referred to as
mononeuritis multiplex.
When widely separated nerves are affected, it is known as polyneuritis. The symptoms of
neuritis are usually confined to a specific portion of the body served by the
inflamed nerve or nerves.
Inflammations of sensory neurons in a nerve fibre cause sensations of
tingling, burning, or stabbing pains that usually are worse at night and are aggravated
by touch or temperature change. The inflammation of motor neurons causes symptoms ranging from muscle weakness to complete paralysis.
Muscles in the area served by the affected nerve lose tone, become tender, and
may atrophy. Bell palsy, which
causes a characteristic distortion of the muscles on one side of the face, is a
form of mononeuritis and is caused by the inflammation of a facial nerve (the
condition is sometimes also described as a form of mononeuropathy).
