Abstract
Nerve compression syndrome or compression neuropathy, is a medical condition caused by direct pressure on a nerve. It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example). Its symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness. I will discuss the clinical presentation of various entrapment nerve sites and the value of nerve conductions and electromyography in the diagnosis of each one.
