Alcoholic polyneuropathy is a disease associated with damage to peripheral nerves that develops against the background of prolonged alcohol abuse. It is accompanied by muscle weakness, impaired sensitivity, ataxia, and other symptoms. The main causes include the toxic effects of alcohol, vitamin B deficiency, and eating disorders. In Uzbekistan, as in other countries, the treatment of alcoholic polyneuropathy includes alcohol withdrawal, vitamin therapy, metabolic therapy and physiotherapy. The success of treatment largely depends on timely medical treatment and compliance with the recommendations of doctors.
