Peripheral Nerve Entrapments; Clinical Diagnosis and Management 1st ed

This comprehensive single-volume guide explores nerve entrapment syndromes and their management in detail. Each chapter focuses on a specific nerve or closely related group of nerves, covering clinical presentation, anatomy, physical examination, differential diagnosis, contributing factors, injection techniques, neurolytic and surgical procedures, treatment of perpetuating factors, and potential complications.

Nerve entrapments can occur throughout the body, leading to conditions such as headaches, chest pain, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, low back pain, and limb pain. For example, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome—one of the most common nerve entrapments—affects approximately 1 in 20 people in the United States and represents just one of several entrapment syndromes involving the median nerve.

Richly illustrated, the book includes extensive 3D anatomical images and is supplemented by over 50 online videos, with at least two dedicated to each nerve. A unique "Pain Problems Index" allows for quick symptom-based navigation in addition to a conventional index. Peripheral Nerve Entrapments: Clinical Diagnosis and Management serves as an essential resource for pain specialists, emergency physicians, neurologists, and healthcare providers involved in diagnosing and treating nerve-related pain conditions.
