Quite possibly that is one of the goals of this procedure. Unfortunately, it is impossible to say, in my case, whether the neurolysis helped or not, because just a few weeks after my TOS surgery I had an accident at home which compromised the outcome…

If you're talking about reinnervating muscles which had atrophied as a result of nerve compression caused by TOS, that is another story. As of right now, I don't believe there is a way to bring those muscles back to health. But, what with stem cell research and other areas of medical/scientific development, who knows what the future may hold?

And as to the nerves themselves, I've been told that you should never give up on them, no matter how badly compressed they may have been! Once the source of compression has been identified and removed, there is always hope that the nerve will be restored, in time, to a healthy state.
