Proximal median (PMNE) and radial (RNE) nerve entrapment syndromes are uncommon.
This article provides an evidenced-based treatment guideline for PMNE and RNE
based on the available literature. Arriving at an accurate diagnosis must involve
an electrodiagnostic (EDx) workup. EDx, including nerve conduction velocity
studies and needle electromyography, should corroborate the clinical diagnosis
and must be done before consideration of any surgical treatment. Conservative
care includes rest, modified activities, splinting at wrist and elbow, physical
therapy, antiinflammatory drug therapy, and corticosteroid injections.
Conservative care should be required for at least 6 weeks before any operative
interventions are considered.
