    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_compression_syndrome

    Nerve compression syndrome, or compression neuropathy, or nerve entrapment syndrome, is a medical condition caused by chronic, direct pressure on a peripheral nerve. [1] It is known colloquially as a trapped nerve , though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc , for example).

  3. Peripheral neuropathy - Wikipedia

    Meralgia paresthetica is a specific instance of nerve entrapment. [5] The nerve involved is the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). [6] [7] [4] [8] The symptoms are purely sensory because the LFCN has no motor function. [4] This syndrome can be caused by anything which places prolonged pressure on the LFCN, such as wearing a tight belt.

  7. Femoral nerve dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_nerve_dysfunction

    Femoral nerve dysfunction, also known as femoral neuropathy, is a rare type of peripheral nervous system disorder that arises from damage to nerves, specifically the femoral nerve. [1] Given the location of the femoral nerve, indications of dysfunction are centered around the lack of mobility and sensation in lower parts of the legs.
