Neuromuscular pain: All you need to know

About:

A condition that makes muscles weak and shrink, by affecting the neurons that control the voluntary muscles.

Reports have shown that chronic pain due to neuromuscular disorder ranges from 70% to 90%.[1]

- Due to genetic factors, either inherited or mutated.
- Progressive in nature.
- Medical assistance is required
- Can not be cured in some cases but can be kept in check.

When the neurons that control the voluntary muscles become unhealthy or die, it hinders the communication between the nervous system and the muscles. This causes decapacitation of the muscles.
Ages affected: Below 15-> common, 16 to 39 - more common, 40 and above -> most common.
