Peripheral Nerve Injury
What Is the Peripheral Nervous System?
Peripheral nerves can sustain injury from a number of causes, including accidents or trauma. A peripheral nerve injury can result in a minor injury or a fully severed nerve. Based on the type and amount of damage, nerve regeneration may or may not be possible. Peripheral nerve Injury treatment depends on the type of injury, symptoms and the amount of nerve injury sustained.
Nerves can also become entrapped or compressed. Certain nerves are more susceptible to this type of injury because of where they are located in the body. Common entrapment neuropathies include carpal tunnel syndrome, anterior interosseous neuropathy, ulnar nerve entrapment, and radial nerve, femoral nerve and peroneal nerve conditions. Some medical conditions may increase the likelihood of this injury, such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, acromegaly, amyloidosis, carcinomatosis, polymyalgia rheumatic, rheumatoid arthritis or gout.
Clinical Trials for Peripheral Nerve Injury
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
