Can cerebral arteriosclerosis cause numbness in the hands?

Cerebral arteriosclerosis may cause numbness in the hands. Most patients with arteriosclerosis have poor blood circulation, especially when cerebral arteries are affected, leading to impaired blood flow to the brain and resulting in hand numbness. However, hand numbness is not always caused by arteriosclerosis—it may also result from cervical spine problems. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an examination and receive appropriate treatment based on the results.
