چکیده
Sensations from various parts of the body are taken by the peripheral sensory nerves to the spinal cord. From spinal cord, the signals reach the brain with the help of the trigeminal nerve and brain stem. Hence, any problem in this pathway may result in paresthesia. Paresthesia is an abnormal condition which causes an individual to feel a sensation of burning, numbness, tingling, itching or prickling. It frequently happens in the extremities, but it can occur in other parts of the body as well.
