A Correlation between Upper Extremity Compressive Neuropathy and Nerve Compression Headache

CONCLUSIONS: The degree of overlap between nerve compression syndromes of the head/neck and upper extremity suggests that peripheral nerve surgeons should be aware of this correlation and screen affected patients comprehensively. Similar patient presentation, treatment, and anatomical basis of nerve compression make either amenable to treatment by nerve surgeons, and treatment of both entities should be an integral part of a formal peripheral nerve surgery curriculum.PMID:34847118 | DOI:10.1097/PRS.0000000000008574
