Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Peripheral nerve injuries occur when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged due to trauma, compression, or disease. These nerves control muscle movements and transmit sensory information like touch, pain, and temperature. Damage can cause weakness, numbness, tingling, or loss of feeling in the affected area. Depending on the severity, recovery may involve nerve regeneration, therapy, or sometimes surgery. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to optimize recovery and prevent permanent loss of function.
