Neuropathy Management - Part 1

• Relate the effects of voltage gated sodium and calcium channels to the development of neuropathy
• Draw the pathways specific of TRPs, NaV 1.8 and CaV 3.2 ion channels in the nervous system
• Understand the application of selective NaV 1.8 and CaV 3.2 channel blockers in patients with neuropathy
• Discuss basic science research that links ion channels with the signs and symptoms of neuropathy
• Utilize the neurobiology of the Rubber Hand phenomena to treat patients with peripheral neuropathy.
• Discuss various ion channels and their roles in neuron hyper-excitability related to neuropathy
• Utilize natural substances that modulate ions channels related to neuropathy
• Differentiate the roles of Protein Kinase C and Aldose Reductase  in neuropathy
• Identify potential signaling pathways that are targets of neuromodulation through natural substances
• Prepare a comprehensive natural-substance management strategy for patients with neuropathy
