Management of pain in brachial plexus lesions
Abstract
Pain in avulsion lesions of the brachial plexus represents the most significant impediment to rehabilitation. The mechanism by which pain is felt is not widely understood. This paper demonstrates, how, with careful management, use of TENS can play a vital role in relief of pain and ultimate rehabilitation.
