home resource directory disorders quizzes ... support forums Advertisement ( Paresthesia Paresthesia paraesthesia in British ) is a sensation of tingling, pricking, or numbness of the skin with no apparent physical cause, more generally known as the feeling of pins and needles . Transient paresthesia is usually caused by inadvertent pressure on a superficial nerve , and disappears gradually as the pressure is relieved. Other kinds of paresthesia, however, can be chronic and painful, and can come from a wide variety of sources. Chronic paresthesia indicates a problem with the functioning of nerve cells, or neurons , in the central nervous system . This malfunction, which is especially common in older individuals, is often the result of poor circulation in the limbs, or may be caused by atherosclerosis artery walls. Without a proper supply of blood and nutrients, nerve cells can no longer adequately send signals to the brain . Because of this, paresthesia is also a symptom of vitamin deficiency and malnutrition , as well as metabolic disorders like diabetes and hypothyroidism Irritation to the nerve can also come from inflammation to the surrounding tissue.

What is the Relationship Between Paresthesia and Nerve Stimulation for Axillary Brachial Plexus Block? Choyce et al. Reg Anes and Pain Med, 26(2), 2001: 100-4. (Editorial, pp. 97-99) Reviewed by: R. Prasad, MD Summary: avoid doing blocks under deep sedation Comments: Interesting study, but not sure how it applies to our practice, or what to make of the data. Clearly needs more study. Does this apply to other blocks? Are pediatric nerves different (i.e., why is it probably safe, as per large outcomes studies, to do blocks in sleeping pediatric patients)? Why was twitch site different than paresthesia site in 19%? Needle movement? Nerve composition? Type of needle used? Needle type. Results probably do not apply to insulated, short-bevel needles. Long bevel needles. Easier to elicit paresthesia. What does that mean? Paresthesias. Is it really the "gold standard" for being close enough to the nerve? Only 88.7% developed complete sensory block at paresthesia site. Of remaining 11.3% (incomplete blocks), half (5.7%) needed >0.5mA to elicit twitch. How many of the 88.7% needed >0.5mA to elicit twitch? If 0, then only 5.7% of pts had paresthesia requiring >0.5 mA

Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Topic: Neuropathy Subject: Paresthesia 9 months is this really neuropathy Dear CCF: Nine months ago while on the medication Levaquin I experienced Paresthesias that then intensified with acute burning pain to my entire body and bone pain. I wrote to the Federal Drug Administration and on their listing of reported adverse drug reactions the Paresthesia Cases all said ongoing therapy next to them. Can you explain two things. First, is a Paresthesias that is ongoing for 9 months with acute burning pain really small fiber neuropathy? That is, is a Paresthesia and a Small Fiber Neuropathy the same thing. Second, would a Paresthesia last 9 months and include not only intense burning pain but bone and joint pain along with stiffness to the body. Do Paresthesias cause stiffness to the body. Lastly does anyone know whether these type of adverse reactions resolve in time. Thanks for your question. The term "paresthesia" refers to a diminished

Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic, consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. paresthesiavitamin B12 deficiency or MS? Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Topic: Multiple Sclerosis Subject: paresthesiavitamin B12 deficiency or MS? From To Post Am now on B12 injections, but doctor has ordered an MRI to rule out MS because the paresthesia locations strike her as atypical for B12 deficiency. She says B12 neuropathy wouldn’t likely move beyond the extremities. Other symptoms: sore tongue, some debilitating fatigue (a bad day every week or two), shortness of breath climbing stairs. Motor symptoms: stumbling/catching toes on the ground, but only sometimes when I wear higher shoes. Ankles sometimes turn inward, causing stumbling. Can B12 deficiency cause stabbing pain with random movement to many locations? Could B12 neuropathy appear for a few weeks, then resolve, then return? Or does this sound more like MS? Does the normal EMG point away from this being a B12 problem? Should I be asking about other conditions that might cause these symptoms? Thanks much. CCF-Neuro-M.D.-PW

(Accepted for publication August 8, 2002.) To the Editor:- The article by Urmey and Stanton tested the hypothesis that if a needle should touch a nerve eliciting a paresthesia, an electrical current passing through that needle should also elicit a motor response. Since paresthesia was successfully elicited in 100% of cases but only 30% of patients exhibited any motor response to electrical stimulation up to 1 mA (200-μs pulse width), Drs. Urmey and Stanton seem to suggest that eliciting a motor response is unreliable, unnecessary, and may fail to signify proximity of the needle tip to the nerve. However, this conclusion is based on several assumptions, which deserve further comment. The authors also suggest the high success rate of nerve block as an indirect evidence of the specificity of the paresthesia technique for nerve location. However, this result can be reasonably explained by the very large dose of local anesthetic administered (50 ml/750 mg mepivacaine). The relationship between the injected volume and success rate is well known.

Carter, Christopher M.D.*; Sandberg, Warren M.D., Ph.D. *Anesthesia Services Medical Group, San Diego, California. ccarter@doctor.com (Accepted for publication August 8, 2002.) To the Editor:- We read with great interest and enthusiasm the investigation by Urmey and Stanton of the correlation (or lack of) between paresthesia and motor response during interscalene block. Unfortunately, a fundamental concept of their work was not addressed, discussed or, at worst, may be faulty. As a result, we are unsure how to apply their study and results to our clinical practices. In our experience, most paresthesias are mild and immediately resolve in spite of the needle being immobile. The fact that the paresthesia resolves implies that the event that produced the paresthesia no longer exists in spite of the needle being immobilized. Taken further, many practitioners I know are reluctant to administer local anesthetic or choose to give a very small test dose in the setting of a persistent paresthesia for fear of an intraneural injection. Using this chain of logic, by the time Urmey and Stanton stimulated the needle, the conditions that produced the paresthesia no longer existed. In other words, the position of the needle relative to the nerve has changed. This alternative explanation is also consistent with their data showing that noninsulated needles produced motor response more frequently than insulated.

What is Paresthesia? Paresthesia refers to a burning or prickling sensation that is usually felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but can also occur in other parts of the body. The sensation, which happens without warning, is usually painless and described as tingling or numbness, skin crawling, or itching. Most people have experienced temporary paresthesia a feeling of "pins and needles" at some time in their lives when they have sat with legs crossed for too long, or fallen asleep with an arm crooked under their head. It happens when sustained pressure is placed on a nerve. The feeling quickly goes away once the pressure is relieved. Is there any treatment?

Paresthesia: Paresthesia is a term that refers to an abnormal burning or prickling sensation which is generally felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but may occur in any part of the body. The sensation, which arises spontaneously without apparent stimulus and is usually not painful, may also be described as tingling or numbness, skin crawling, buzzing, or itching. Most people have experienced transient (temporary) paresthesia at some time in their lives; it occurs whenever inadvertent pressure is placed on a nerve and causes what many describe as a "pins and needles" feeling. The feeling quickly goes away once the pressure is relieved. For some people, however, paresthesia can become a chronic condition caused by an underlying disorder . Researching symptoms of Paresthesia: Further information about the symptoms of Paresthesia is available including a list of symptoms of Paresthesia , or alternatively return to research other symptoms in the
