About Peripheral Nerve Lesion

A peripheral nerve lesion procedure, performed by a neurologist, is a diagnostic and sometimes therapeutic intervention targeting nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It involves the precise identification and treatment of damaged or dysfunctional peripheral nerves, which are responsible for transmitting signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body. Common techniques include nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG) for diagnosis, followed by potential treatments like nerve blocks, steroid injections, or neurolysis. This procedure is crucial for conditions causing pain, numbness, weakness, or paralysis, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or sciatica. The goal is to alleviate symptoms, restore function, and improve quality of life through targeted neurological care.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in limbs.
  • Unexplained muscle weakness or atrophy.
  • Chronic neuropathic pain unresponsive to medication.
  • Suspected nerve entrapment syndromes (e.g., carpal tunnel, ulnar neuropathy).
  • Traumatic nerve injuries from accidents or surgery.
  • Conditions like diabetic neuropathy, Bell's palsy, or shingles (postherpetic neuralgia).
  • To differentiate between nerve, muscle, or spinal cord disorders.

How to prepare

  • Detailed neurological examination and review of medical history.
  • Disclosure of all medications, especially blood thinners (may need to pause).
  • Fasting may be required if sedation is planned.
  • Avoid applying lotions or creams to the skin over the affected area on the day.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for easy access to the limb.
  • Arrange for transportation home if sedation is used.

Risks & possible complications

  • Pain, bruising, or swelling at the injection or test site.
  • Infection at the procedure site (rare).
  • Temporary increase in nerve pain or discomfort.
  • Allergic reaction to local anesthetic or contrast dye (if used).
  • Nerve injury from needle placement, though very uncommon.
  • Bleeding, especially in patients on blood thinners.
  • Dizziness or vasovagal reaction during the procedure.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Most diagnostic tests (NCS/EMG) require no specific recovery; normal activities can resume immediately.
  • For injection-based procedures, rest the affected limb for 24-48 hours.
  • Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
  • Avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting for a few days as advised.
  • Monitor for signs of infection (increased redness, fever).
  • Follow-up with the neurologist to discuss results and further treatment plans, which may include physical therapy.
  • Pain relief from therapeutic injections may take a few days to manifest fully.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
