 | | Paresthesia refers to a burning or prickling sensation that is usually felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but can also occur in other parts of the body. | | | Most people have experienced temporary paresthesia -- a feeling of "pins and needles" -- at some time in their lives when they have sat with legs crossed for too long, or fallen asleep with an arm crooked under their head. | | | The NINDS supports research on disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves that can cause paresthesia. |

| | Because unintentional paresthesias are often experienced by up to 40% of patients receiving a block by a non-paresthesia technique, no prospective study to date has demonstrated an increased risk for post-operative dysesthesias of any one technique (12). | | | While studies examining both paresthesias and non-paresthesia techniques report dramatically different times for block placement and anesthetic onset, there is no consensus that any one method consistently requires less time to perform or provides a faster onset of anesthesia. | | | Again, this suggests that individual experience with a technique is probably the best predictor of the time necessary for block placement and onset of surgical anesthesia, and that one technique is not inherently faster than another. |

| | Temporary paresthesia is usually described as a tingling sensation and occurs when pressure is placed on a nerve. | | | Most people have experienced some kind of paresthesia, usually described as a “pins and needles" sensation. | | | Oral surgery to attempt to repair a damaged nerve is an option for treating permanent paresthesia, though there is no guaranteed result. |

| | During their technique, a non-insulated stimulating needle was advanced until a paresthesia was elicited. | | | Although the intentional elicitation of a paresthesia may represent direct needle trauma and theoretically increase the risk of neurologic injury, there are no prospective, randomized clinical studies that are able to definitively support this hypothesis. | | | Although the incidence of neurologic complications between the two groups was not statistically significant, all ten patients with persistent paresthesias had painful paresthesias elicited during performance of the block; in three cases the pain was enhanced during injection. |

| | The major drawback of the paresthesia technique is that it is associated with greater patient discomfort. | | | On the other hand, careful use of the paresthesia technique to localize the brachial plexus is successfully used at many centers without a significant increase in the risk of nerve injury. | | | The debate must be limited only to brachial plexus blockade, as the use of paresthesia techniques in infraclavicular, lumbar plexus, femoral, sciatic, popliteal, and other "deep" blocks is both unreliable and unacceptable in modern practice. |

| | Paresthesia due to direct contact of injection needles and the nerve is consciously avoided. | | | The old rule "no paresthesia - no anesthesia" loses its validity, because the need for reliable feedback from the patient concerning paresthesia is eliminated, and the danger of a mechanical nerve lesion is largely excluded. | | | The principle consists of triggering depolarizations with electrical pulses at, but not within, the nerve, causing muscular contractions at the effector muscle or sensitive sensations in the distribution area. |

| | This most likely accounts for the greater incidence of paresthesia in Groups II and III -- 3.5 and 6.5 times respectively--seen with this type of surgery as opposed to surgery for the removal of erupted teeth. | | | Results of the study shows that as patients become older there exists an increased chance of surgical morbidity with reference to nerve paresthesias and alveolar osteitis. | | | It is easy to see from the illustration that even a minor variation in anatomical position, such as impaction of the third molar, can bring a nerve into the surgical field during routine removal. |

| | What are the complications as risks with wisdom teeth extractions? |
| | A hope of avoiding the complication of paresthesia is one reason why dentists suggest that wisdom teeth be removed when a patient is "young." As humans age on through their twenties the roots of their wisdom teeth continue to form and develop, making the teeth more difficult to extract without disturbing surrounding tissues (like nerves). | | | Sometimes during the process of extracting a wisdom tooth these nerves can be bruised or damaged. | | | Usually paresthesia is temporary, lasting days, weeks, or a few months, however if a nerve has been severely damaged the paresthesia may be permanent. |
