==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.


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]].

[Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on:

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.
Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.


=== Generalized Peripheral Neuropathy ===
OR
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]].
'''If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features:'''


* [[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.
According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].


* [[Neuronopathy|Neuronopathies]] are the result of destruction of [[peripheral nervous system]] (PNS) [[neuron]]s. They may be caused by [[motor neurone disease]]s, sensory neuronopathies (''e.g.'', [[Herpes zoster]]), toxins or [[autonomic nervous system|autonomic]] dysfunction. [[Neurotoxicity|Neurotoxins]] may cause neuronopathies, such as the [[chemotherapy]] agent [[vincristine]].

Overview

There is no established system for the classification of [disease name].

OR

[Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups: [group1], [group2], [group3], and [group4].

OR

[Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3]. [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].

OR

Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.

OR

If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features: According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].
