Paresthesia Treatment Market: Overview
Paresthesia is a neurological disorder.
It is characterized by an abnormal and spontaneous sensation, wherein
people feel a painless sensation of tingling, numbness, burning,
itching, or prickling. It can also be described as a skin-crawling
sensation or pins-and-needles. Paresthesia often occurs in the fingers,
toes, hands, and feet; however, it can also affect other parts of the
body. Paresthesia can be caused by nerve irritation, neurological
disorders, hyperventilation, dehydration, neuropathy migraines, and
heavy metal poisoning. Major causes of the disorder are hyperventilation
syndrome, vitamin deficiency, and use of anesthesia. The various types
of paresthesia are transient ischemic attack (TIA), hyperventilation
syndrome, obdormition, whiplash, panic attack, and seizures. It can
occur due to various reasons such as sitting crossed legs for a long
time and sleeping for a long time with arm twisted under the hands. In
worst cases, the symptoms can last for a lifetime and become chronic.
Moreover, diseases such as cancer, arthritis, and diabetes increase the
risk of paresthesia.

arthritis, and other chronic diseases, surge in geriatric population,
changing lifestyle, poor diet, and rise in prevalence of paresthesia.
Additionally, lack of proper diet & exercise, favorable support from
government for research & development, and excess smoking and
alcohol consumption are projected to fuel the growth of the global
paresthesia treatment market during forecast period. However, longer
period required for drug approval and stringent regulatory rules are
anticipated to act as restraints of the market.
The global paresthesia treatment market
