Diagnostic tests for Numbness:
Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Numbness. Some of these are listed below :
- General appearance - abnormal posture, muscle wasting, abnormal limb movements.
- Mental state examination - including appearance, behavior, rate and continuity of speech, mood, affect, thought content, evidence of any hallucinations or abnormal beliefs, orientation to time, place and person, attention and concentration, short-term memory, insight and judgement. May help detect and evaluate anxiety and panic states which may cause rapid breathing (hyperventilation) and consequent numbness around the lips, lightheadedness and tingling in the extremities.
- Physical examination
- Examine for physical signs of low calcium including Chvostek's sign (gentle tapping over the facial nerve causes twitching of the facial muscles) and Trousseau's sign (inflation of the blood pressure cuff above diastolic blood pressure for 3 minutes causes muscular contraction of the fingers and wrist)
- Examination of cranial nerves ( if affected would suggest a diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease , a mass in the brain, migraine or multiple sclerosis)
