Abstract
Abstract
Objective
To present a technical note on how to perform upper extremity peripheral nerve stimulators for three major nerves: median, ulnar, and radial.
Design
Literature review and expert opinion.
Setting
Single academic center.
Results
Peripheral nerve stimulation has recently become popular with the development and availability of peripheral nerve stimulators with an external pulse generator. Here, we describe ultrasound anatomy and technical details for peripheral nerve stimulation in the upper extremity for three major nerves: median, ulnar, and radial.
Conclusions
Upper extremity peripheral nerve stimulation can be considered as an option for refractory neuropathic upper extremity pain.
