Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN) Ayurvedic Treatment | esreveR Specialty Ayurveda Center

Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN)

Small Fiber Neuropathy (SFN) involves damage to small nerve fibers responsible for sensory and autonomic signals, often linked to disturbances in Vata Dosha and the accumulation of toxins (Ama).

Pathophysiology in Ayurveda

Dosha Imbalance: SFN primarily manifests due to disturbed Vata Dosha, which governs nerve function and can lead to symptoms like pain, tingling, and numbness.
Ama (Toxins): Following initial nerve damage, toxins accumulate in nerve tissues (Majja Dhatu), impairing nerve conductivity and exacerbating symptoms.

Clinical Features:

Sensory Symptoms: Include burning pain, tingling, numbness, heightened sensitivity to touch or temperature changes.
Autonomic Symptoms: Abnormal sweating patterns, changes in skin color or temperature regulation, orthostatic intolerance, and gastrointestinal or bladder dysfunction.
Other Symptoms: Difficulty regulating body temperature, muscle weakness or cramps, worsened symptoms at night or with activity. Difficulty regulating body temperature, muscle weakness or cramps, worsened symptoms at night or with activity.
