Brachialgia

Brachialgia is pain located in the upper limb, mainly in the arm region, and may be associated with problems affecting the nerves, muscles, joints, or the cervical spine. It is often caused by irritation or compression of nerve roots, injuries, or musculoskeletal disorders. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, weakness, or restricted movement. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination and, when required, imaging or neurological tests. Treatment is adapted to the underlying cause and may include medication, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation exercises.
