Brachial plexus injury treatment with conservative medications

Conservative therapy includes taking medications aimed at increasing nerve impulse speed, improving nerve tissue metabolism, and normalizing muscle tone. In addition, drug treatment is advised when the surgery is not indicated or can't be performed. That helps to restore limb function in some instances. A neurologist and a neurosurgeon develop the treatment course for brachial plexus injury. Doctors choose the most optimal plan based on the diagnosis results and the general condition. As a rule, the program is performed outpatient and frequently combined with rehabilitation and physiotherapy. Usually, the patient is prescribed:Painkillers of various types will quickly and effectively relieve pain. Anti-inflammatory drugs, which locally affect the sore spot. Multivitamin complexes (B, A, and E vitamins). Anticholinesterase agents (improve the transmission of nerve impulses). Anti-swelling drugs. Medications that improve blood microcirculation. After the main pains subside, a course of rehabilitation begins. Much attention is paid to manual and physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, and electromyostimulation.
