Abstract：
The prevalence of peripheral neuropathies has increased over the years, and novel treatments for management of several neuropathies have emerged over the past decade. Following a literature search of the ICHUSHI database, we observed that recent literature on peripheral neuropathy most frequently includes reports from the orthopedic specialty, followed by studies reported by the neurology service. Notably, the number of studies reported by the neurology departments has increased over the past decade. However, most patients with common peripheral neuropathies do not visit the neurology department. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the role of neurologists for comprehensive evaluation and management of neuromuscular disorders. This may result in acknowledgement of neurology as the primary gatekeeper of peripheral neurological diseases.
摘要：
多年来，周围神经病变的患病率有所增加，在过去的十年中，出现了用于管理多种神经病变的新治疗方法。在对ICHUSHI数据库进行文献检索后，我们观察到，最近关于周围神经病变的文献最常包括骨科专业的报道，其次是神经病学服务报告的研究。值得注意的是,在过去的十年中，神经科报告的研究数量有所增加。然而,大多数常见周围神经病变患者不去神经内科就诊。因此,有必要强调神经科医师在全面评估和管理神经肌肉疾病方面的作用。这可能导致神经学被确认为周围神经系统疾病的主要看门人。
