Numbness of the fingers like electric shock may be caused by physiological factors, cervical spondylosis, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome and other reasons.
1. Physiological factors: for example, prolonged arm pressure, resulting in poor blood circulation in the fingers, causing obvious symptoms of numbness in the hands, which may show numbness in the fingers like an electric shock.
2. Cervical spondylosis: because the normal physiological curvature of patients with this disease changes, easily lead to local nerve root compression, may cause numbness of the fingers like electrocution, may also be accompanied by numbness and weakness of the arm, neck and shoulder pain, stiffness and other symptoms.
3. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy: the disease is usually caused by diabetic patients with poor long-term glycemic control, can make the patient’s peripheral nerve damage, resulting in peripheral nerve dysfunction, which may show numbness in the fingers like electrocution.
4. Green-Barre Syndrome: this disease is a neurological disease, can lead to muscle weakness and localized numbness, tingling, which may cause numbness of the fingers like an electric shock, may also be accompanied by tachycardia, sweating and other manifestations.
Finger numbness like electrocution, exclude physiological factors, should promptly seek medical treatment, under the guidance of the doctor for targeted treatment.
