Peripheral neuropathies are one of the most prevalent neurological disorders in the general population and a frequent reason for medical consultation. Symptoms can range from numbness or tingling to shooting sensations (paresthesia) or muscle weakness. Certain regions of the body can become abnormally sensitive, which can cause an extremely intense or distorted experience of touch (allodynia). In such cases, pain may be felt in response to a stimulus that normally does not cause pain. Its diagnosis and treatment are key to improving the quality of life of patients.

In this Masterclass we invite you to learn in depth about the nerve regeneration process when peripheral neurons suffer an injury and the repairing role of nucleotides in this process..

Peripheral neuropathy develops as a result of damage to the peripheral nervous system that can be caused by traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, hereditary causes, and exposure to toxins. Professor Xavier Navarro will delve into the process of injury and regeneration of the peripheral nervous system, that is, what happens in our body when peripheral neurons suffer injury, Wallerian degeneration and the stages of axonal regeneration.

After reviewing the most physiological part of nerve injury and its regeneration process, Dr. Andrei Danilov will present us with the role of nucleotides in nerve regeneration: how nucleotides intervene in this process, favoring myelin synthesis and restoration. of the nerve impulse thus improving the quality of life of patients. He will tell us about his clinical experience and present the results of the latest published clinical studies with nucleotides.
