Nerve Irritation During Spontaneous Recovery
- The provided studies do not directly address the question of whether nerves experience irritation during spontaneous recovery from paralysis.
- However, some studies suggest that nerve compression or damage can lead to paralysis, and spontaneous recovery may occur in some cases 1, 2, 3.
- For example, a study on anterior interosseous nerve syndrome found that 8 out of 14 patients exhibited spontaneous recovery from their paralysis during 3-12 months after the onset 3.
- Another study reported a case of spontaneous radial nerve palsy subsequent to non-traumatic neuroma, where the patient experienced a sudden onset of paralysis after a three-week history of pain, numbness, and tingling sensation in the affected extremity 4.
- A study on isolated paralysis of the serratus anterior muscle found that surgical release of the distal portion of the long thoracic nerve can lead to successful recovery, suggesting that nerve irritation or compression may be a factor in some cases of paralysis 5.
