Peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome mainly manifests as sensory impairment and motor dysfunction in the area innervated by the nerve. Sensory deficits are usually characterized by the absence of pain and temperature sensation, and some people may experience stimulation symptoms, such as pain hypersensitivity. Motor dysfunction is characterized by localized muscle weakness and, in severe cases, muscle atrophy in the area of innervation. The human nervous system is divided into central nerves and peripheral nerves. The central nerves generally refer to the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nerves are the axons emanating from the brain and spinal cord, and if the peripheral nerves are compressed during the course of the pathway, peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome may occur. The most common peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes are carpal tunnel syndrome, elbow tunnel syndrome, radial nerve injury, peroneal nerve injury, and pear-shaped muscle syndrome.
