    Abstract

    Clinical, intractable pain in the upper extremity often results from neuroma, direct injury to a peripheral nerve, or repetitive operative insults to a peripheral nerve that has compressive neuropathy. Electrical stimulation applied directly to a single peripheral nerve can provide sufficient relief of pain, improve patient outlook, improve lasting sleep, release the individual from addictive narcotic pain medication, and restore a psychological sense of well-being.
