- Acanthesthesia — A form of paresthesia or subjective disturbance of tactile and painful sensitivity, characterized by a false, spontaneous, and unpleasant sensation of pinpricks or thorn-like pricks on the skin, occurring in the absence of any external mechanical stimulus. This neurological symptom is typically associated with damage to peripheral nerve fibers, being encountered in neuropathies, radiculopathies, or lesions of the sensory pathways in the spinal cord.

- Acroparesthesia — A subjective sensory disorder, episodic or permanent, manifested by abnormal sensations of numbness, tingling, prickling, or burning localized exclusively in the distal extremities of the body (hands and feet). This structural neurological phenomenon reflects irritation or compression of peripheral nerve fibers, serving as a cardinal symptom in carpal tunnel syndrome, metabolic peripheral neuropathies (such as diabetic neuropathy), or functional vasomotor disorders.

- Algoparesthesia — A complex neurological symptom characterized by the simultaneous association of a paresthesia (abnormal sensations such as numbness, tingling, or burning) with a distinct and persistent localized pain sensation. This clinical manifestation occurs due to injury, irritation, or compression of peripheral nerve fibers.
- Endearment — A display full of tenderness, affection, and warmth through gestures, sweet words, or caresses; the act of pampering and the state resulting from it.

- Growing numb — The act of growing numb and its result; the physiological or pathological process through which a limb or body region temporarily loses tactile sensitivity and mobility. In a neurophysiological sense, it represents the transient blockage of nerve impulse transmission, while figuratively it indicates a state of stagnation, inactivity, torpor, or a decrease in the intensity of activities or feelings.
