  2. Nerve compression syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    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).

  3. Peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_neuropathy

    Peripheral neuropathy, often shortened to neuropathy, refers to damage or disease affecting the nerves. [1] Damage to nerves may impair sensation, movement, gland function, and/or organ function depending on which nerve fibers are affected. Neuropathies affecting motor, sensory, or autonomic nerve fibers result in different symptoms. More than ...

    TOS can involve only part of the hand (as in the pinky and adjacent half of the ring finger), all of the hand, or the inner aspect of the forearm and upper arm. Pain can also be in the side of the neck, the pectoral area below the clavicle, the armpit/axillary area, and the upper back (i.e., the trapezius and rhomboid area).

  5. Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_ischemic_optic...

    Ischemic injury to the optic nerve causes inflammation and swelling. Because the posterior optic nerve passes through the optic canal, a bony tunnel leading to the brain, swelling in this rigid space causes compression of the optic nerve. This compression worsens ischemia and perpetuates the cycle of injury, and swelling, and compression. [1]

  6. Alcoholic polyneuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholic_polyneuropathy

    Alcoholic polyneuropathy is a neurological disorder in which peripheral nerves throughout the body malfunction simultaneously.It is defined by axonal degeneration in neurons of both the sensory and motor systems and initially occurs at the distal ends of the longest axons in the body.

  7. Small fiber neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_fiber_neuropathy

    Small fiber peripheral neuropathy is a type of peripheral neuropathy that occurs from damage to the small unmyelinated and myelinated peripheral nerve fibers. These fibers, categorized as C fibers and small Aδ fibers, are present in skin, peripheral nerves, and organs. [1]

  8. Radial neuropathy - Wikipedia

    Radial Nerve - Anatomy, Innervation Humerus - anterior view. There are many ways to acquire radial nerve neuropathy, including: [6] Upper arm - a fracture of the bone; Elbow - entrapment of the nerve; Wrist - elbow deformity and soft-tissue masses; Axilla - here the most common cause is compression.

    All destructive procedures will cause facial numbness, post relief, as well as pain relief. [41] Percutaneous techniques which all involve a needle or catheter entering the face up to the origin where the nerve splits into three divisions and then damaging this area, purposely, to produce numbness but also stop pain signals.
