Sensor-Based Nerve Compression Measurement: A Scoping Review of Current Concepts and a Preclinical Evaluation of Commercial Microsensors.

Chronic nerve compression is the most common indication for nerve surgery. However, the clinical diagnosis still relies on surrogate parameters since devices for direct nerve compression pressure measurement (DNCPM) are clinically unavailable yet. To review previous approaches to DNCPM and evaluate presently available microsensor systems for their feasibility and reliability in preclinical nerve compression models.
