Alcoholic Neuropathy

Alcoholic neuropathy defines the nerve disorder associated with excessive alcohol consumption. Nerve function is reduced, it is believed, by the toxins in alcohol and nutritional deficiencies.

Normal symptoms for alcoholic neuropathy include lack of sensation, tingling, frail ankles and muscles and burning feet. Diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, constipation, incontinence of the bladder and impotence in men are some other symptoms. However, in severe cases of alcoholic neuropathy, major damage is done to the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for involuntary functions such as the heart beat.

There are several tests and evaluations that can help diagnose alcoholic neuropathy. The main four are the neurological exam, electromyography, nerve conduction velocity test and nerve biopsy. The neurological exam is a process where in the patient goes through a series of simple and painless examinations. It primarily evaluates the functioning of the neurological system, which includes autonomic nervous functioning, muscle strength and the sensory reactions. Electromyography tests the electrical activity of the muscle, checking whether or not the impulses are transferred promptly back and forth between nerve and muscle. Electromyography is often performed to find out the cause for numbness, itchiness. It is also capable of differentiating between weaknesses caused by reduced usage of a muscle or damage caused by the disease of the nerves (neuropathy). Nerve conduction velocity tests how swiftly impulses can be transmitted. It is done simultaneously with electromyography. Nerve biopsies are done on small nerves, tissues and muscles to determine the disorder.

The primary treatment for alcoholic neuropathy is treatment for alcoholism - avoiding alcohol reduces the symptoms of alcoholic neuropathy. Physical therapies can be given to help ease the pain. Medication may also be given to treat the numbness caused by alcoholic neuropathy. Following a healthy balanced diet is another vital part of the treatment.
