Paresthesia

What is meant by paresthesia?

A paresthesia is any abnormal sensation. It may be spontaneous or evoked by a specific event. The most common paresthesia is the sense of “pins and needles” when a nerve in a limb is compressed (e.g., the limb “falls asleep”). Paresthesias are not always painful.
