Denervation

Denervation: causes, consequences and treatment

Denervation is a condition where the nerve supply to muscles and skin is disrupted, resulting in muscle paralysis and loss of skin sensation in the affected area. This condition can be caused by various reasons, such as injury, surgery, or disease.

One of the most common causes of denervation is nerve injury, which can occur as a result of stretching, compression, or tearing. Denervation can also be caused by surgery, where nerves must be cut to access a specific area of ​​the body.

With denervation, muscle fibers begin to shrink and are replaced by fatty tissue, which leads to a loss of normal muscle tone (elasticity). This can lead to decreased muscle strength and reduced muscle size over time.

In addition, the area of ​​skin that has undergone denervation loses all sensitivity. This can lead to disturbances in the sense of touch, pain and temperature in the affected area of ​​the body. In addition, the skin's ability to restore lost functions and renew tissue may also be reduced.

Treatment for denervation depends on its cause and the extent of nerve damage. In some cases, rehabilitation measures such as physical therapy and massage are necessary to restore muscle strength and function. In more severe cases, surgery may be required to restore normal nerve supply and tissue function.

In conclusion, denervation is a condition that can be caused by various reasons and results in disruption of the nerve supply to the muscles and skin. Treatment depends on the cause and extent of the injury, and may include rehabilitation and surgery.

Denervation (from the Latin denervatio - “thoughtlessness”, from the Latin nervus - “nerve”) is a condition in which there is a break in the innervation of the muscle or skin. As a result of this process, paralysis of the muscle and loss of its normal tone are observed. The muscle fibers begin to shrink and are replaced by fatty tissue, which leads to loss of sensitivity in the area of ​​skin that has undergone denervation.

Denervation can be caused by various factors, such as trauma, surgery, infectious diseases, autoimmune processes and others. In some cases, denervation is temporary, for example, after surgery or injury, and goes away on its own after restoration of nerve innervation. However, in other cases, denervation becomes permanent and can lead to serious consequences such as sensory loss, muscle atrophy, and even disability.

Various methods are used to treat denervation, such as physical therapy, drug therapy, hormone injections and others. However, the most effective method is to restore nerve innervation using electrical stimulation or neural stem cell injections.

Overall, denervation is a serious condition that can lead to serious complications. Therefore, it is very important to promptly diagnose and treat denervation in order to prevent its development and possible consequences.

Tissue denervation (Greek δενερνῆσθαι - “distract, remove”) is the process of temporary interruption by nerve innervation of a certain group of muscle fibers and skin structures due to exposure to chemicals during operations or various diseases and injuries.
