Alzheimer's DiseaseSensory Disturbances
There are various terms to describe sensory disturbance. Commonly used terms include numbness, pins and needles, tingling or pain. Sensory disturbances is a neurological disorder characterized by a neurological sensory integration deficit. Sensory disturbances are caused by injured sensory pathways in the spinal cord. The actual area or pattern of sensory loss is more helpful in diagnosing the underlying cause. Sensory disturbance can occur due to pathology anywhere along the sensory pathway from the sensory cortex and deep white matter of the brain, through the spinal cord and nerve roots to the peripheral nerves.
Treatment
clinical observations and assessment of paraesthesia needs to be performed in an organized manner after a careful clinical history taking, which should guide the investigations in a focused direction.
