phenytoin and Polyneuropathies

phenytoin has been researched along with Polyneuropathies in 8 studies

Polyneuropathies: Diseases of multiple peripheral nerves simultaneously. Polyneuropathies usually are characterized by symmetrical, bilateral distal motor and sensory impairment with a graded increase in severity distally. The pathological processes affecting peripheral nerves include degeneration of the axon, myelin or both. The various forms of polyneuropathy are categorized by the type of nerve affected (e.g., sensory, motor, or autonomic), by the distribution of nerve injury (e.g., distal vs. proximal), by nerve component primarily affected (e.g., demyelinating vs. axonal), by etiology, or by pattern of inheritance.

"Oral neuropathic pain medication often has insufficient pain relief and side effects."3.11Enriched enrollment randomized double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over trial with phenytoin cream in painful chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (EPHENE): a study protocol. ( Keppel Hesselink, JM; Kopsky, DJ; Notermans, NC; van Eijk, RPA; Vrancken, AFJE; Warendorf, JK, 2022)
"During this treatment a severe mainly motor polyneuropathy occurred acutely which was more pronounced in the distal parts of the legs, and cerebellar symptoms were noted at the same time."1.25[Acute polyneuropathy caused by diphenylhydantoin intoxication (author's transl)]. ( Bajc, O; Meienberg, O, 1975)
