About us
The peripheral nerves play a vital role in connecting the central nervous system with peripheral tissues, serving as a bridge between the two. Disorders affecting the peripheral nerves can arise from a variety of causes, including genetic factors, intoxication, metabolic abnormalities, inflammation or allergies, trauma, and compression. These conditions manifest in diverse symptoms, such as numbness and pain, each with distinct characteristics. However, in clinical practice, identifying the specific causes and mechanisms can be challenging due to overlapping factors and complex conditions.

The study of peripheral nerve disorders spans numerous fields, including internal medicine, neurology, orthopedics, metabolism (e.g., diabetes), pediatrics, plastic surgery, rehabilitation medicine, and basic sciences like anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, and molecular biology. It also intersects with occupational medicine, environmental medicine, epidemiology, and preventive medicine, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field.

Recognizing the need for a platform to share research findings and facilitate open discussions, the Peripheral Nerve Research Meeting was founded in January 1990 under the leadership of Professor Emeritus Itsuro Sobue of Nagoya University, along with 24 other founding members. Since then, we have held annual academic meetings, fostering collaboration among members and contributing to the growth of the field. In August 2000, the meeting transitioned into a full-fledged academic society to further its mission of advancing peripheral nerve research and interdisciplinary cooperation.
