Identifying the level of entrapment is an important consideration for surgery as decompressing the wrong area will lead to a failed surgery (e.g. performing back surgery for extra-spinal sciatica), [2] [3] failure to treat nerve entrapment early can lead to permanent nerve injury, [4] and the patient may be unnecessarily exposed to surgical ...
Piriformis muscle spasm may compress the sciatic nerve. [20] As the piriformis muscle spasms, it shortens and becomes harder, applying greater pressure on the sciatic nerve against the ischium at the inferior greater sciatic foramen. The empirical evidence supporting this is that patients can often see immediate and permanent relief from local ...
According to the 2022 expert consensus recommendations, nerve decompression (nerve release) surgery is an effective treatment for pudendal nerve entrapment. [16] However, the panel stated that only patients for whom all 5 Nantes criteria were present, including the pudendal block injection test, should undergo surgery. [16]
Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis irritates the sciatic nerve, which comes into the gluteal region beneath the muscle, causing pain in the buttocks and referred pain along the sciatic nerve. [8] This referred pain is known as sciatica. Seventeen percent of the population has their sciatic nerve coursing through the piriformis muscle.
The piriformis nerve, also known as the nerve to piriformis, is the peripheral nerve that provides motor innervation to the piriformis muscle. Structure Origin ...

Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example).
In October 2013, he advised the mother of Jesse Brown, a 29-year-old Idaho addict who, as a precondition of his early release from prison, was compelled to enter a psychologically brutal “therapeutic community” behind bars.
