Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are affected, often causing symptoms such as numbness, tingling, nerve pain, balance problems, or muscle weakness.

This package provides a comprehensive assessment for individuals who may be at risk of peripheral neuropathy, especially those with diabetes, hypertension, or related family history. It includes Sudoscan, comprehensive blood tests covering Vitamin B12, folate, fasting blood sugar, and HbA1c, as well as consultation with a neurologist.

Available for international patients and self-paying outpatient patients, this screening package helps identify possible nerve-related concerns earlier, allowing timely medical advice, lifestyle guidance, and further management when needed.

Why Consider Peripheral Neuropathy Screening?
 

Peripheral nerve damage can develop gradually and may begin with mild symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or discomfort in the feet or hands. In some cases, symptoms may be overlooked until they start affecting walking, balance, sleep, or daily activities.

Peripheral neuropathy can be associated with conditions such as diabetes, high blood sugar, vitamin deficiencies, hypertension, and other health factors. Early screening can help identify possible nerve dysfunction and related medical contributors so patients can receive timely advice and follow-up care.
