what we do

The goal of our center is to have a place where philanthropist, advocates, organizations and family and friends of patients with a Neurological illness could donate monetary funds which can support Investigator initiated clinical trials. By having funds, we could optimize proper treatments in order to improve outcomes for patients with neurological diseases.

Neuropathy Symptoms

Symptoms depend on the type of nerve(s) affected (e.g., motor, sensory, autonomic) and where the nerve is located in the body. One or more type of nerves may be damaged.

Muscle weakness, cramps, and spasms are associated with motor nerve damage.

Sensory nerve damage can produce tingling, numbness, and pain. Pain associated with sensory nerve damage is variously described as:

• Sensation of wearing an invisible "glove" or "sock"
• Burning, freezing, or electric-like
• Extreme sensitivity to touch

If the autonomic nerves are damaged, involuntary functions may be affected. Symptoms that can result from this type of damage include abnormal blood pressure and heart rate, reduced ability to perspire, constipation, bladder dysfunction (e.g., incontinence), and sexual dysfunction.

Some neuropathies develop suddenly; others progress slowly. Severity varies among individuals and may vary in the same individual throughout the day. Symptoms generally are more severe at night.
