A member asked:
Is there any way to restore nerve function after a bracial plexus injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on extent: If it involves nerve root avulsion, it is irreversible, but if a stretch or local inflammation with compression, both conservative measures such as physical therapy and feldenkreis may make huge difference, and some brachial plexus injuries such as thoracic outlet syndrome do well with surgery.
