Diagnosis usually involves a combination of clinical evaluation, patient history, and diagnostic tests. These may include:
- Nerve Conduction Studies: To measure the speed and strength of electrical signals in the nerves. - Electromyography (EMG): To assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them. - Blood Tests: To identify the presence of specific toxins. - Imaging Studies: Such as MRI to rule out other causes of neuropathy.
