Patient's question:
My friend has neonatal brachial plexus injury. When he was young, he took medicine and had acupuncture. Due to family and medical condition limitations, he couldn't receive treatment. Now he is in his twenties. Can he still be treated effectively through surgery and other medical technologies?Doctor's answer:
Hello. It's a pleasure to explain this to you. Nerve damage is very difficult to recover from. It can only be relieved through acupuncture, massage, etc. If the effect is not good, you can try electroacupuncture stimulation and other therapies based on the degree of injury. Currently, nerve damage cannot be fully restored. Neurosurgical facial examination, neurological examination, color Doppler ultrasound, etc. are mainly used. Massage, physical therapy, acupuncture, neurotrophic drug use, and functional exercise are the main methods.
