Brachial Plexus Block

A brachial plexus block is a medical procedure used to numb the nerves that control feeling and movement in the arm and hand. It's often performed before surgeries on the upper limb, providing pain relief and reducing the need for general anesthesia. The doctor injects anesthetic near a bundle of nerves in the neck or armpit. This technique allows patients to remain awake and pain-free during the procedure while minimizing discomfort afterwards. It’s a commonly used and effective option for managing pain in arm-related surgeries.
