A Simple Accommodation for Ulnar Nerve Paraesthesia Following Body Impacts from Mechanical Energies

Abstract

Michael A Persinger and Linda S St-Pierre

Acquired painful or distracting paraesthesia of the lateral two fingers subsequent to a strong mechanical impact to the body can also be elicited clinically by point stimulation around the ipsilateral periscapular region. This neurological (ulnar) demonstration offers an alternative attribution of the etiology for the patient. A simple mechanical procedure that can be self-administered by the patient over several weeks minimizes the symptom and can facilitate sense of control of the unwanted experiences.
