A review of therapeutic nerve decompression for neuropathy in Hansen's disease with research suggestions
J Reconstr Microsurg.
2010 May.
Abstract
Nerve decompression surgery for leprosy neuritis has a long history and large literature. New understanding of the high frequency of spontaneous recovery from nerve function impairment requires re-evaluation of the value of decompression in acute nerve dysfunction with strong evidence-based protocols. Several reports and theoretical considerations suggest research avenues that might offer hope for prevention of long-term complications and relief of impairment and disabilities.
