Neuroscience

Brachial Neuritis

Brachial neuritis is nerve damage that affects the chest, shoulder, arm, and hand. It causes pain, weakness and lack of muscle control and lack of feeling in the shoulder or arm.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Women develop carpal tunnel syndrome 3 times more frequently than men. It usually occurs only in adults.

Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Cubital tunnel syndrome happens when the ulnar nerve, which passes through the inside of the elbow, is injured and becomes inflamed, swollen, and irritated. The pain of cubital tunnel syndrome feels like the pain you feel when you hit your "funny bone."

Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the peripheral nervous system.

Diabetic Neuropathy

Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage due to diabetes. Over time, high blood sugar (glucose) can damage the tiny blood vessels that supply your nerves, especially in the legs and feet.
