  2. Neuroinflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroinflammation

    Neuroinflammation is widely regarded as chronic, as opposed to acute, inflammation of the central nervous system. [5] Acute inflammation usually follows injury to the central nervous system immediately, and is characterized by inflammatory molecules, endothelial cell activation, platelet deposition, and tissue edema. [6]

  3. Delayed onset muscle soreness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness

    Counterintuitively, continued exercise may temporarily suppress the soreness. Exercise increases pain thresholds and pain tolerance. This effect, called exercise-induced analgesia, is known to occur in endurance training (running, cycling, swimming), but little is known about whether it also occurs in resistance training. There are claims in ...

  4. Neuritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuritis

    Neuritis (/ nj ʊəˈr aɪ t ɪ s /), from the Greek νεῦρον), [1] is inflammation of a nerve [2] or the general inflammation of the peripheral nervous system.Inflammation, and frequently concomitant demyelination, [3] [4] [5] cause impaired transmission of neural signals and leads to aberrant nerve function.

  5. Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_cutaneous_nerve...

    Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is a nerve entrapment condition that causes chronic pain of the abdominal wall. [1] It occurs when nerve endings of the lower thoracic intercostal nerves (7–12) are 'entrapped' in abdominal muscles, causing a severe localized nerve (neuropathic) pain that is usually experienced at the front of the abdomen.

  6. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example).

  7. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_inflammatory_de...

    There is always a noticeable difference in the compound muscle action potential's dispersion, and conduction block is commonly experienced. [26] An MRI can show proximal nerve or root enlargement and gadolinium enhancement, which indicate active inflammation as well as demyelination in the brachial plexus [27] or cauda equina. [28]

  8. Anticholinergic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticholinergic

    These agents inhibit the parasympathetic nervous system by selectively blocking the binding of ACh to its receptor in nerve cells. The nerve fibers of the parasympathetic system are responsible for the involuntary movement of smooth muscles present in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, lungs, sweat glands, and many other parts of the ...

  9. Diabetic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_neuropathy

    The oculomotor nerve controls all the muscles that move the eye except for the lateral rectus and superior oblique muscles. It also serves to constrict the pupil and open the eyelid. The onset of a diabetic third nerve palsy is usually abrupt, beginning with frontal or pain around the eye and then double vision. All the oculomotor muscles ...
