It works by preventing nerves from sending signals to the muscles that cause them to contract.
The medications are injected directly onto nerves that supply spastic muscles to destroy them.
Baclofen flows freely in the spinal canal, affecting the nerves to control hyperactive muscles.
Neurologists perform neurological examinations of the nerves of the head and neck; muscle strength and movement; balance, ambulation, and reflexes; and sensation, memory, speech, language, and other cognitive abilities.

Excessive sweating in the affected area is caused by overactivity of the nerves linked to the sweat glands.
Surgical procedures involve removing portions of the nerves responsible for excessive sweating and removing sweat glands during an open or minimally invasive surgical procedure.
Brachial plexopathy is any injury to the brachial plexus-the nerve bundles located on each side of the neck that give rise to the individual nerves controlling the muscles of the shoulders, arms, and hands.
The nerves of the brachial plexus are the fifth through the eighth cervical nerves (C5, C6, C7, and C8) and the first thoracic nerve (T1).
They run from nerve roots on each side of the upper spinal cord to regions beneath the collarbone where they branch out as the major nerves of the shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands.
Every brachial plexus injury is different, depending on the affected nerve or nerves and the extent and severity of the injury.
Also, casts are sometimes used to allow the nerves to heal.
Severed nerves, particularly avulsion injuries in which the nerve is severed at the root, have poorer prognoses.
In severe cases there may be permanent partial or total loss of nerve function in the affected nerves and weakness or paralysis of the arm may be permanent.

Pain is an unpleasant feeling that is conveyed to the brain by nerves in the body.
To understand acute pain, it is necessary to understand the nerves that support it.
For example, substance P relays the pain message to nerves leading to the spinal cord and brain.
These neurotransmitters may also stimulate nerves leading back to the site of the injury.
The pain is referred because the nerves that supply the damaged organ enter the spine in the same segment as the nerves that supply the area where the pain is felt.

The other terms indicate involvement of the spinal cord and nerves in the malformation.
The spine may be completely open, exposing the spinal cord and nerves.
As a rule, the nerves below the level of the abnormality develop in a faulty manner and fail to function, resulting in paralysis and loss of sensation below the level of the spine malformation.
In these conditions, a tumor of fatty tissue becomes isolated among the nerves below the spinal cord, which may result in tethering of the spinal cord and complications similar to those with open spina bifida.
Sensation is carried to the brain by neurons (nerve cells) running from the outer parts of the body to the spinal cord in bundles called nerves.
This disturbance can occur in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), the nerve roots that are attached to the spinal cord, or the peripheral nervous system (nerves outside the brain and spinal cord).
Compression can be short-lived, as when a heavy backpack compresses the nerves passing across the shoulders.
Sensory nerves supply or innervate particular regions of the body.
Determining the distribution of symptoms is an important way to identify the nerves involved.
For instance, weakness may accompany damage to nerves that carry both sensory and motor neurons.
In the early 2000s trials are being done to determine whether treatment with human nerve growth factor will be effective in regenerating the damaged nerves.
However, paresthesias resulting from damaged nerves may persist throughout or even beyond the recovery period.
Sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves are included.
Sensory nerves-Sensory or afferent nerves carry impulses of sensation from the periphery or outward parts of the body to the brain and spinal cord.
Major nerves of the body can become paralyzed for six to 14 days, causing double vision, difficulty swallowing and speaking, respiratory failure, and other problems.
The same is true for bites that are deep or gaping; for bites to the head, hands, or feet; and for bites that may have broken a bone, damaged nerves, or caused a major injury of another kind.
Spina bifida occurs during the first month of fetal development when a small bit of bone and skin fails to fully enclose the nerves of the spinal cord, leaving a hole or lesion.
Neuromuscular scoliosis is due to loss of control of the nerves or muscles that support the spine.
It consists of several comprehensive and in-depth assessments of mental status, cranial nerves, motor abilities, reflexes, sensory acuity, and posture and walking (gait) abilities.
Cranial nerves are nerves that originate in the brain and connect to specialized structures such as the nose, eyes, muscles in the face, scalp, ear, and tongue.
This imbalance can prevent the muscles and nerves from responding and recovering normally and can lead to cramping.
In both tests, the examiner uses a computer, monitor, amplifier, loudspeaker, stimulator, and high-tech filters to see and hear how the muscles and nerves are responding during the test.
The fingertip consists of the uppermost phalanx with surrounding muscle, tissue, nerves, and nail.

The CNS comprises the brain and spinal cord, and the PNS is composed of the nerves that stem from and lead into the CNS.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) applies a small electric current to certain parts of nerves, potentially interrupt pain signals and induce the release of endorphins.
Augmentative procedures include electrical stimulation or direct application of drugs to the nerves that are transmitting the pain signals.
In this procedure, instead of applying the current across the skin, electrodes are implanted to stimulate peripheral nerves or nerves in the spinal cord.
