The peripheral nervous system involves the parts of the nervous system beyond the brain and spine. Neuromuscular specialists like Ohio State’s W. David Arnold, MD, treat a variety of disorders including muscular disorders such as muscular dystrophy, polymyositis and dermatomyositis, peripheral neuropathies such as Charcot Tooth, and neuromuscular junction disorders such as myasthenia gravis. Symptoms of these disorders may include general weakness, fatigue, numbness, tingling, and sometimes pain. To develop a definitive diagnosis and individual treatment plan, each patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation, including medical history, physical exam and targeted testing. As more is understood about the causes of neuromuscular disease, better treatments are being developed to stop and reverse some damage or improve symptoms.
