Postsurgical Inflammatory Neuropathy-Mayo Clinic

In this video, P. James Dyck, M.D., discusses the new research Mayo Clinic has done regarding postsurgical inflammatory neuropathy. This new study found that nerve inflammation may cause the pain, numbness and weakness following surgical procedures that is known as post-surgical neuropathy. The development of postsurgical neuropathies is typically attributed to compression or stretching of nerves during surgery. This new research shows that, in some cases, the neuropathy is actually caused by the immune system attacking the nerves and is potentially treatable with immunosuppressive drugs. The study was published in this month's issue of BRAIN.
