Nerve injury (brachial plexus) is a common type of peripheral nerve damage.Advice: It's difficult to say. For common traumatic brachial plexus injuries, early treatment is based on strict measures, including the use of neurotrophic drugs (VitB1, VitB6, VitB12, VitBco, etc.), physical therapy on the injured area (such as electrotherapy, infrared therapy, and magnetotherapy), and functional exercises for the affected limb. Comprehensive measures are also taken to prevent joint capsule scarring and contracture. Acupuncture and massage can be used in combination, which helps to thoroughly eliminate severe nerve shock, resolve nerve adhesions, and relax the joints. The observation period is generally about 3 months.
