The article presents a clinical observation of a 54-year-old patient with sensorimotor polyneuropathy and newly diagnosed celiac disease. It was shown that laboratory methods for examining patients with polyneuropathy are required to identify the etiology of the process in most cases. Attention is drawn to the possibility of developing polyneuropathy with gluten intolerance without obvious pathological manifestations of the gastrointestinal tract. The importance of not only observing a gluten-free diet for treatment, but also the use of pulsed currents in the form of an exponent to reduce pain, improve trophism of muscle tissue, increase muscle strength and restore deep sensitivity is reflected. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is an effective therapy.
