Confidently expressed and polarizing rhetoric has power and can make intelligent and caring individuals question common-sense measures.
“Several viral infections — such as HIV and shingles — are associated with peripheral neuropathy because viruses can damage nerves,” said Simon Haroutounian, senior investigator of the study and chief of clinical research at the.
Neuropathy occurs when the network of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged or experience some form of dysfunction,. Neuropathies are typically felt in extremities such as the hands and feet but can also affect other parts of the body. Of the 1,556 people enrolled in the study, 542 tested positive for COVID-19 and 1,014 were negative. Most participants reported their pain as being mild or moderate and said they likely would not have required help from a pain specialist.
While there is currently no established diagnosis of COVID-related neuropathy, the medications used to treat the condition are similar regardless of cause. “There is a high likelihood we could still help these patients, even though at the moment there are not clear diagnostic criteria or even a recognized syndrome known as COVID peripheral neuropathy,” Haroutounian said.
More research is required to replicate the findings across multiple health facilities and account for other developments in the progression of the pandemic. “We finished our data collection before vaccinations became widespread and before the delta or omicron variants arrived and it’s difficult to say what effects those variables may have,” Haroutounian said.
