Peripheral neuropathy

NINDS says peripheral neuropathy refers to the many conditions that involve damage to the peripheral nervous system, the communications network between the brain and spinal cord and all other parts of the body. University of Iowa Health Care lists neuropathic pain among types of chronic pain TENS may be used for. Numb skin matters for safety: the NHS says not to use TENS on numb areas of skin, and University of Iowa lists skin without normal sensation as a place not to use it. Ask your clinician before using TENS with neuropathy. Read TENS units: what they are and how they work and see chronic pain.
