Sensory neurology: A new neurology subspecialty and opportunity

[...]there is an urgent need to focus on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of patients experiencing sensory abnormalities. In clinical practice, patients’ complaints of sensory abnormalities go far beyond the sensory organ-based categorization of discomfort. [...]the clinical patients’ great need has prompted us to think about how to change the current understanding of the sensory system. The cerebral regions implicated in these symptoms are intricately complex, and erroneous diagnoses can lead to inappropriate treatment strategies. [...]accurate diagnosis and treatment of sensory abnormalities require more profound neuroscientific knowledge, interdisciplinary collaboration, and more effective clinical interventions and detection methods. [...]certain concepts within this specialty might overlap with those in existing neurology subspecialties, potentially leading to confusion in research directions and difficulties in resource allocation.
