==Overview==
Peripheral neuropathy may be classified according to the number and distribution of nerves affected into three groups: [[Mononeuropathy]], [[Mononeuritis multiplex]] and [[Polyneuropathy]].It may also be classified according to the type of nerve fiber predominantly affected into three groups: [[Motor neuron|Motor]], [[Sensory neuropathy|sensory]] and [[Autonomic]]. peripheral neuropathy may also be classified according to the process affecting the nerves into three groups: [[Neuritis|Inflammatory neuritis]], compression [[neuropathy]] and[[chemotherapy]]-induced peripheral neuropathy.
 
==Classification==
==Classification==
More than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy have been identified, each with its own characteristic set of symptoms, pattern of development, and prognosis. Impaired function and symptoms depend on the type of nerves-motor, sensory, or autonomic-that are damaged. Motor nerves control movements of all muscles under conscious control, such as those used for walking, grasping things, or talking. Sensory nerves transmit information about sensory experiences, such as the feeling of a light touch or the pain resulting from a cut. Autonomic nerves regulate biological activities that people do not control consciously, such as breathing, digesting food, and heart and gland functions. Although some neuropathies may affect all three types of nerves, others primarily affect one or two types. Therefore, physicians may use terms such as predominantly motor neuropathy, predominantly sensory neuropathy, sensory-motor neuropathy, or autonomic neuropathy to describe a patient's condition.

** [[Mononeuropathy]]  
Often the form of neuropathy is further broken down as to cause (see below), or other type, such as [[small fiber peripheral neuropathy]], which is [[idiopathic]].
** [[Mononeuritis multiplex]]  
 
** [[Polyneuropathy]]  
There are other less common forms of neuropathy, for example [[Enteric Neuropathy]]
 
Peripheral neuropathy is not a disease in itself, but a symptom or a complication of other underlying conditions. Peripheral nerves, either singly or in groups, are damaged through lack of circulation, chemical imbalance, trauma, or other factors.<ref>Ruth Werner, LMP, NCTMB A Massage Therapist's Guide to Pathology; Third Edition Copyright 2005</ref>
 
Peripheral neuropathies may either be ''symmetrical'' and ''generalized'' or ''focal'' and ''multifocal'', which is usually a good indicator of the cause of the peripheral nerve disease.
 
=== Generalized Peripheral Neuropathy ===
Generalized peripheral neuropathies are symmetrical, and usually due to various systematic illnesses and disease processes that affect the [[peripheral nervous system]] in its entirety.
They are further subdivided into several categories:
 
* [[Distal axonopathy|Distal axonopathies]] are the result of some metabolic or toxic derangement of [[neuron]]s. They may be caused by metabolic diseases such as[[diabetes]], [[renal failure]], deficiency syndromes such as [[malnutrition]] and [[alcoholism]], or the effects of [[toxin]]s or [[medication|drugs]].


* [[Myelinopathy|Myelinopathies]] are due to a primary attack on [[myelin]] causing an acute failure of impulse conduction. The most common cause is [[acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy]] (AIDP; ''aka'' [[Guillain-Barré syndrome]]), though other causes include [[chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy]](CIDP), [[genetics|genetic]] metabolic disorders (''e.g.'', [[leukodystrophy]]), or toxins.
