Treatment polyneuropathy in Ein Bokek (Dead Sea)

A group of diseases characterized by systemic peripheral nerve damage. If axons are affected, then they talk about axonal polyneuropathies, and if a steady decrease in the speed of conduction along the nerve develops, then they talk about demyelinating polyneuropathies. Symptoms in both groups of diseases are similar: flaccid paresis, muscular weakness in the arms and legs, muscle wasting, steppage, cranial nerves and respiratory muscles may be affected, tendon and periosteal reflexes weaken or disappear, paresthesia, dysesthesia, distorted perception of pain and skin temperature, dry skin, tachycardia, hypotension, impotence develops. Hereditary polyneuropathies do not cure, only stop symptoms and try to achieve sustained remission. Exercise therapy is very important as a way to maintain muscle tone and prevent contractures. Depending on the type of polyneuropathy, you may need: mechanical ventilation, medical treatment, surgery.
