A revised and updated study in context of paresthesia has been presented in this extensive book. Paresthesias are described as induced or impulsive unusual sensations of prickling, burning, tingling, or numbness of a person's skin without any clear long-term physical effect. Patients usually report a burning or lancinating pain, often related to hyperalgesia and allodynia. Paresthesia can be chronic or transient wherein, transient paresthesia can be a symptom of a panic attack or hyperventilation syndrome while chronic paresthesia can be an outcome of nerve irritation, poor circulation, neuropathy, or several other causes and conditions. Contributions by experts from across the planet have been compiled in this book. The book aims to help the readers understand, treat and improve the lives of patients suffering from paresthesia.
