Nerve Entrapment

Abstract: Nerve entrapment syndromes are common in the general population, and are managed by a wide variety of medical and surgical specialists. A thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of nerve compression and appropriate clinical workup are critical in the overall management of these conditions. There remain several topics of controversy regarding the surgical management of nerve entrapment syndromes, including multiple points of nerve compression, carpal tunnel release under local anesthesia, open versus endo… Show more

“…The ulnar nerve may be compressed at the cubital tunnel inlet by the medial intermuscular septum and an aponeurotic band referred to as the arcade of Struthers. Moreover, the nerve may be entrapped in the tunnel by the Osborne's band, a retinaculum that extends from the medial epicondyle to the olecranon, and by the aponeurosis of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU); this is postulated to be the most common site of the entrapment [ 5 7 ]. Finally, the ulnar nerve may be compressed distally, at the tunnel outlet, by the two heads of the FCU muscle [ 7 ].…”

“…Idiopathic neuropathy seems to be the most common cause of UNE among many potential aetiological factors of this condition [ 7 , 8 ]. Ulnar neuropathy may also result from habitual elbow flexion, acute or repetitive trauma, excessive strain, presence of mass-like lesions, degenerative arthritis and snapping triceps syndrome.…”

“…[ 6 ] Deformation of anatomical structures caused by musculoskeletal disorders may compress the nerves, [ 7 ] and increased nerve compression can compress the capillaries within the nerves to cause changes in hemodynamics, whereas chronic compression may cause inflammation, fibrosis, and demyelination, which may ultimately lead to axonal loss. [ 8 ] Clinical manifestations include sensory disturbance, motor dysfunction, and pain, [ 9 ] and such symptoms are referred to as nerve entrapment syndrome. The signs of pain associated with nerve entrapment include severe local pain as well as neuropathic pain, such as paresthesia, tingling, and dysesthesias originating from the entrapped nerve.…”

“…Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is a yellow-pigmented fraction of Curcuma longa. The anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects of curcumin have been reported in many studies (3, 14,15,18). It has shown efficacy in the treatment of neuropathic pain (6).…”
