Peripheral neuropathic pain refers to the pain associated with the condition of peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy refers to the damage caused to the peripheral nervous system, which is the vast communications network that transmits information from the brain and spinal cord to every other part of the body. The term is also generally used to describe changes in the way the particular nerves work.

Since every peripheral nerve has a highly specialized function in a specific part of the body, a wide array of symptoms can occur when nerves are damaged.

However, muscle weakness is the most common symptom of motor nerve damage. Some of the most common list of symptoms includes:

Temporary numbness

Tingling

Pricking sensations (paresthesia)

Sensitivity to touch

Muscle weakness

Burning pain (especially at night)

Muscle wasting

Paralysis

Gland dysfunction

Inability to digest food

Maintain a balanced blood pressure level

Abnormal level of sweating

Sexual dysfunction
