Abstract


Peripheral  nerve paralysis,   condition  manifested by  the impaired fucation of nerves outside the central nervous system, poses more challenges to patients  and health care professionals. Corticosteroids , namely  prednisone,  are generally  prescribed to decrease inflammation  and mitigate the immune response  that may result in nerve damage.  These drugs assist alleviate symptoms and increase the recovery  particularly  of Peripheral nerves, especially CYP  in cases of acute paralysis  because of an inflammatory  conditions. Nonsteroidal anti_ inflammatory  drugs (  NSAIDs ),  like ibuprofen, perform by reducing inflammation and providing pain relief. Neurotrophic factors  are proteins  that  enhance the survival. Development  and function of neurons.  Drugs targeting  neuro tropic factors, namely  nerve growth factor ( NGF ), aim to activate  nerve regeneration  and enhance  the functional recovery of paralyzed Peripheral nerves.  A very few anti convulsant  drugs, namely  gabapentin  and pregabalin, have exhibited efficacy particularly  in managing  neuritropic pain related to Peripheral nerve paralysis. In a very few cases of Peripheral nerve paralysis with an immune component. Intra venous immunoglobulin  ( IVIG )  therapy  may be taken into consideration  IVIG consists  of antibodies  that can modulate  the immune response. Potentially  decreasing inflammation  and enhancing nerve recovery demyelination or damage to the protective  myelin sheath surrounding  nerve is a common feature particularly  on Peripheral nerve disorders  Drugs targeting  myelin  repair, namely  certain experimental agents and remyelinating agents, aim to restore the integrity of the myelin sheath and increase nerve  conduction.  Peripheral  nerve paralysis  frequently  involves impaired blood  flow especially  to the affected area,  resulting  in reduced oxygen and nutrient supply .  Vasodilators, which dilate blood vessels, can enhance  blood circulation  and promote the healing and damaged nerves.  Finally  it is concluded that  the pharmacological landscape for  treating  Peripheral nerve paralysis diverse, with drugs targeting many adverts of the condition,  from Inflammation  and pain into nerve regeneration  and myelin repair.
