This type of injury can cause debilitating symptoms, such as weakness, numbness, and chronic pain. Synonyms for peripheral nerve injury include nerve damage, nerve trauma, nerve compression, nerve entrapment, and nerve disruption. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe conditions that affect the peripheral nervous system. Treatment for peripheral nerve injuries may involve physical therapy, medications, or surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the injury and the underlying cause.
