A member asked:

What are symptoms of neurogenic atrophy in thenar muscle from nerve damage? can it be treated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nerve damage: Weakness of the thenar muscles leads to weakness in grip, opening jars, and difficulty with daily hygiene. Occupational therapy can rebuild strength in the hand. See a neurosurgeon for evaluation of the weakness.
