After 11-year-old Sebastian was diagnosed with small-fiber neuropathy, he at last found relief from constant pain. Watch recent news coverage of his journey, and his family's contributions to a study of genetic causes of peripheral nerve damage.
Small fiber polyneuropathy is linked to chronic pain, chronic
fatigue, and fibromyalgia. Nerve Unit intern Anna Harrison
explains how, in her recent article for the Oberlin College
science magazine, The Synapse.
Research on nerve damage in a rare genetic condition
could shed light on more common small-fiber neuropathy.
Madeline Klein and Anne Louise Oaklander explain.
Read a summary or their complete commentary.
Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy and polyneuropathy, means damage to the nerves that run through the body outside the brain and spinal cord.
