remove nerve lesions w/o surgery
 

Thought this article was interesting. With TOS, it is not uncommon for nerves to have adhesions/lesions on them. Neurolysis is performed to remove them. People with MS have lesions on nerves (but in the brain and CNS) as well. A new study uses engineered WBC's to clean up the nerves and remove the lesions on them ---- restoring the ability to walk, etc. Voltage gated sodium channels are used which I find extremely interesting.

Perhaps in 20 years, people with TOS will have MRI's that visualize the lesions and WBC therapy to remove the lesions can be used instead of surgery.

some research I have been looking into about sodium channelopathies and Na(v)'s on nerve pain.
