Summary

Identifying the number of adults presenting with peripheral nerve injury (including brachial plexus injury) with a psychological and physical impact and needing rehabilitation.

Documentation

A peripheral nerve injury is associated with trauma and commonly affects the arm. This study will help to understand more clearly what types of psychological consequences patients experience after peripheral nerve injury and the impact adults with nerve injury have on current NHS rehabilitation services. Many fail to fully recover and live with paralysis, loss of sensation, chronic pain with added psychological consequences. This study will help to examine in detail demographics of those who can get support with development of a new digitally delivered psychologically informed rehabilitation.
