Visual evoked potentials are used to diagnose visual losses due to optic nerve damage, especially from multiple sclerosis. They are also useful to diagnose "hysterical blindness," in which loss of vision is not due to any nerve damage.
A leg can give out due to muscle weakness, nerve damage, joint instability, or a sudden loss of balance.
Generally neurological damages, such as nerve damage or brain damage, result in the loss of motor functions. This can be due to severe burns, electrical shock, or blunt force trauma to the head, neck, and or spine.
A damage or cutting of any sort of nerve in, for example, your arm may reduce your ability to touch or operate that arm to its full ability due to the lack of an efficient movement of current to command the arm and the inability to output to the spine and brain the feelings of the skin and the arm.
Paresis is a condition characterized by partial loss of movement or impaired movement, usually due to weakness or neurological dysfunction. It can affect various parts of the body and is often associated with conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, or nerve damage. Physical therapy and medications are common treatment approaches for paresis.
People with Refsum disease typically experience progressive hearing loss due to nerve damage that occurs early during development
Loss of taste sensations that could result from damage to the facial nerve include the inability to taste sweetness on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue due to dysfunction of the chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve, which carries taste information. This can lead to a reduced ability to detect sweet flavors on that part of the tongue.
due to nerve fatigue.
Many causes of nerve pain or damage or due to some type of injury to the spinal column, like a slipped disc. Sometimes a pinched nerve can cause excruciating pain too.
A nerve can die due to various causes more commonly due to injury , reduced blood supply etc. There are 3 types of nerves 1) Sensory 2) Motor 3) Autonomous The function served by that nerve will be lost . For example if the sensory nerve is lost , the sensation in that part of the skin will be lost. Motor nerve, if cut , will lead to secondary atrophy of that muscle.
sensory hearing loss, refers to damage to the organ of Corti and the acoustic nerve. Prolonged exposure to loud noise is the leading cause of sensory hearing loss.
Hot tubs can potentially cause nerve damage if the water temperature is too high, leading to burns or scalding. Prolonged exposure to hot water can also result in nerve damage due to the heat affecting the nerves. It is important to regulate the temperature and duration of hot tub use to prevent potential nerve damage.
