“…Chen et al demonstrated the effectiveness of MVF in sensory and motor reeducation, observing improved learning in hand and finger dexterity compared to traditional sensory. Additionally, patients who used MVF demonstrated increased activation in ipsilateral brain areas and the multimodal association cortex on fMRI ( 21 ). Unfortunately, Chen only examined 6 cases, which is not representative, and it is advised that future research include more cases and additional follow-up.…”

Brachial plexus injury (BPI) is one of the most serious peripheral nerve injuries, resulting in severe and persistent impairments of the upper limb and disability in adults and children alike. With the relatively mature early diagnosis and surgical technique of brachial plexus injury, the demand for rehabilitation treatment after brachial plexus injury is gradually increasing. Rehabilitation intervention can be beneficial to some extent during all stages of recovery, including the spontaneous recovery period, the postoperative period, and the sequelae period. However, due to the complex composition of the brachial plexus, location of injury, and the different causes, the treatment varies. A clear rehabilitation process has not been developed yet. Rehabilitation therapy that has been widely studied focusing on exercise therapy, sensory training, neuroelectromagnetic stimulation, neurotrophic factors, acupuncture and massage therapy, etc., while interventions like hydrotherapy, phototherapy, and neural stem cell therapy are less studied. In addition, rehabilitation methods in some special condition and group often neglected, such as postoperative edema, pain, and neonates. The purpose of this article is to explore the potential contributions of various methods to brachial plexus injury rehabilitation and to provide a concise overview of the interventions that have been shown to be beneficial. The key contribution of this article is to form relatively clear rehabilitation processes based on different periods and populations, which provides an important reference for the treatment of brachial plexus injuries.

“…Zunehmend finden sich auch in Fallberichten und Fallserien oder vereinzelten klinischen Studien Hinweise auf positi ve Effekte der Spiegeltherapie nach traumatischen Verlet zungen wie vorderen Kreuzbandrupturen [13] und Radius frakturen [14], chirurgischen Eingriffen (z. B. Mastektomie [15], Karpaltunnelsyndrom [16], periphere Nervenrekon struktion [17]) und muskuloskelettalen Schmerzsyndro men wie der adhäsiven Kapsulitis [18].…”

“…Die Spiegeltherapie hat sich seit ihrer ersten Beschreibung in der Mitte der 1990er-Jahre [1, 2] zu einer weit verbrei teten und in Leitlinienempfehlungen eingeflossenen The rapieform entwickelt [7]. Dabei entstanden neben der kli nischen Verbreitung zahlreiche Forschungsarbeiten zur Spiegeltherapie, die insbesondere die Effektivität zur mo torischen Funktionsverbesserung nach einem Schlagan fall ebenso wie deutliche schmerzlindernde Effekte bei Phantomschmerzen oder einem komplexen regionalen Schmerzsyndrom nachwiesen [4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…The prime example of this is development of neuropathic or phantom limb pain. The underlying mechanisms involve alterations in ion channels, glial changes and imbalance of excitatory and inhibitory neurons with resulting reorganization of pathways in the somatosensory cortex, thalamus and brainstem [86,87 ▪ –90 ▪ ]. Of course, remodeling mechanisms are necessary in some cases, such as recovery from nerve transfer procedures, whereby new cortical maps are generated to control the reinnervated muscle, now controlled by a different motor nerve [86].…”

Purpose of reviewTo review advances in the diagnostic evaluation and management of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries.Recent findingsSerial multimodal assessment of peripheral nerve injuries facilitates assessment of spontaneous axonal regeneration and selection of appropriate patients for early surgical intervention. Novel surgical and rehabilitative approaches have been developed to complement established strategies, particularly in the area of nerve grafting, targeted rehabilitation strategies and interventions to promote nerve regeneration. However, several management challenges remain, including incomplete reinnervation, traumatic neuroma development, maladaptive central remodeling and management of fatigue, which compromise functional recovery.SummaryInnovative approaches to the assessment and treatment of peripheral nerve injuries hold promise in improving the degree of functional recovery; however, this remains a complex and evolving area.
