Neuritis with Brachial Predilection Treatment in India
About Neuritis with Brachial Predilection
Key Highlights
-
Accurate diagnosis through advanced neurological testing (NCS/EMG) and imaging.Non-invasive diagnostic components help pinpoint the exact source of nerve inflammation.Essential for differentiating neuritis from other conditions like cervical radiculopathy or peripheral neuropathy.Forms the critical foundation for a targeted and effective treatment strategy.Performed by a specialist (neurologist) with expertise in complex nerve disorders.
Who is this surgery for?
- Persistent, severe pain in the shoulder, arm, or hand, often described as burning or shooting.
- Unexplained weakness, numbness, or tingling (paresthesia) in the upper limb.
- Muscle atrophy or wasting in the shoulder or arm muscles.
- History of recent infection, vaccination, or trauma that preceded neurological symptoms.
- Suspected autoimmune or inflammatory conditions like Parsonage-Turner syndrome (neuralgic amyotrophy).
- To rule out structural causes like tumors or herniated discs compressing the brachial plexus.
How to prepare
- Provide a complete medical history, including details of recent illnesses, injuries, or vaccinations.
- List all current medications, supplements, and any known allergies.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the neck, shoulder, and arm.
- Avoid applying lotions, oils, or creams to the skin on the day of the nerve conduction studies.
- Inform the neurologist if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device.
- For an EMG, you may be advised to avoid caffeine for a few hours before the test.
Risks & possible complications
- Discomfort or pain during needle insertion for the electromyography (EMG) portion of the testing.
- Minor bruising or soreness at the site of needle electrodes.
- Rare risk of infection at needle insertion sites.
- Fainting or lightheadedness (vasovagal response) during the procedure, though uncommon.
- The diagnostic process itself carries minimal physical risk; the primary risks are associated with the underlying condition if left untreated.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Diagnostic tests like NCS/EMG require no specific recovery; you can typically resume normal activities immediately.
- Some muscle soreness or tenderness may persist for a day or two after an EMG.
- Apply a cold pack to any sore areas if needed for comfort.
- Follow-up with your neurologist is crucial to discuss test results and formulate a treatment plan, which may include medications (e.g., corticosteroids, pain relievers), physical therapy, or further interventions.
- Recovery from the underlying neuritis depends on the cause and treatment; physical therapy is often a key component for regaining strength and function.
-
Typical hospital stay:
0 days (typically outpatient)
-
Expected recovery time:
Varies by underlying cause; diagnostic recovery is immediate

James Sharma, a 42-year-old software engineer...
James Sharma, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, began experiencing sharp, burning pain in his right shoulder and arm three months ago. An avid weekend tennis player, he initially dismissed it as a rotator cuff injury. However, the pain intensified, radiating down to his fingers, accompanied by disturbing numbness and weakness that made typing and even holding a coffee mug difficult. Sleep became elusive as any pressure on the arm was agonizing. His primary care physician referred him to a neurologist. After a detailed history, physical exam showing specific weakness in C5-C6 myotomes, and an EMG/NCS confirming cervical radiculopathy with neuritis affecting the brachial plexus, the neurologist recommended a targeted cervical epidural steroid injection. James was anxious, fearing the procedure near his spine. The experience in the procedure room was quick, guided by fluoroscopy, with only mild pressure. Within 48 hours, the fiery pain subsided dramatically. After a week of rest and gentle physiotherapy, strength slowly returned. Emotionally, he transitioned from frustration and fear of losing his career to profound relief and optimism, gradually returning to playing with his kids and modified tennis.
