What should be done about brachial plexus nerve injury in newborns?

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 did not receive treatment. Now he is over twenty years old, can he still be treated effectively through surgery and other medical technologies?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. It's a pleasure to explain to you that nerve damage is difficult to recover from, and it can only be relieved through acupuncture, massage, and other methods. If the effect is not good, you can try electroacupuncture stimulation and other therapies. Depending on the extent of the damage, nerve damage cannot be fully recovered at the moment. Neurosurgical facial examination, neurological examination, color Doppler ultrasound, etc. are mainly massage therapy, acupuncture, neurotrophic drug use, and functional exercise.
