People who have had a limb amputated often experience phantom limb pain and neuromas (painful, scarred nerve endings). Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) surgery can help relieve the pain by ...

The hypoglossal nerve is one of the 12 cranial nerves arising from the brain. It's a paired nerve, and you have two — left and right. Together, the two hypoglossal nerves control the muscles of the ...

ALS and nerve injury symptoms may feel similar. However, ALS is a progressive condition, and the symptoms people may experience typically worsen over time. In some cases, nerve injuries may trigger ...

Our bodies’ nerve cells are important for transmitting electrical and chemical information between different parts of the brain and between the brain and other parts of the nervous system. One of the ...
