Accessory Nerve Injuries

Traumatic injuries to the ACCESSORY NERVE. Damage to the nerve may produce weakness in head rotation and shoulder elevation.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Accessory Nerve Injuries:

1.	Connective Tissue Growth FactorIBA 01/01/2016 - "In this study, we aimed to analyze the changes in the expression of fibrosis-related factors, including transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in denervated skeletal muscles using a mouse model of accessory nerve transection. "
2.	salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM)IBA 06/01/2021 - "We performed sham or bilateral accessory nerve injury (BACNI) surgeries on ten-week-old male Wistar/ST rats. " 01/01/2021 - "Ten-week-old male Wistar/ST rats were randomly divided into eight groups according to the type of treatment (sham or bilateral accessory nerve injury [BACNI]) and the duration of observation (3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 4 weeks: Sham-3d, Sham-1w, Sham-2w, Sham-4w, BACNI-3d, BACNI-1w, BACNI-2ws, and BACNI-4w. "
3.	Starch (Cornstarch)IBA 10/03/2019 - "Our primary outcome measures were incidence rate of Frey's syndrome assessed clinically (Minor's starch-iodine test) and other complications (postoperative infection, subjective painful or restricted cervical movement, scar spread, rejection of the graft, complications related to the donor site such as accessory nerve injury and haematoma). "
4.	Lidocaine (Xylocaine)FDA LinkGeneric 08/01/2017 - "New complications, such as Horner syndrome, spinal accessory nerve injury, and complications due to lidocaine toxicity, were also revealed. "
5.

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Conservative Treatment 01/01/2020 - "Conservative treatments for Lateral scapular winging caused by spinal accessory nerve injury might be successful in early 20 months. " 12/01/2008 - "Conservative treatment for late-diagnosed spinal accessory nerve injury." 04/14/1996 - "Their observations sustain the data of authors who established that in the case of accessory nerve injury not only the surgical but also conservative treatment is usually successful. " 01/01/2016 - "Trapezius Palsy Resulting from Accessory Nerve Injury after Cervical Lymph Node Biopsy Dramatically Improved with Conservative Treatment."
2.	Neck Dissection (Radical Neck Dissection) 09/18/2021 - "Lateral neck dissection (LND) leads to a significant morbidity involving accessory nerve injury. " 07/01/2015 - "Maximizing shoulder function after accessory nerve injury and neck dissection surgery: A multicenter randomized controlled trial." 09/01/2014 - "It is unclear whether intra-operative nerve monitoring is a useful tool for reducing the prevalence of accessory nerve injury and predicting post-operative functional shoulder outcome in patients undergoing neck dissection. " 06/01/2013 - "Overhead exercises are associated with higher levels of trapezius muscle activity in patients with accessory nerve injury following neck dissection surgery. " 01/01/2013 - "One group consisted of neck dissection patients with demonstrated clinical signs of accessory nerve injury. "
3.	Cautery 10/01/2016 - "We intended to study the spinal accessory nerve injury during neck dissection by both harmonic scalpel and electro cautery technique and compared postoperative recovery of shoulder function after neck dissection. "
4.	Carotid Endarterectomy 07/01/1996 - "Spinal accessory nerve injury: a complication of carotid endarterectomy." 03/01/1991 - "Accessory nerve injury after carotid endarterectomy. " 03/01/1987 - "Accessory nerve injury during carotid endarterectomy." 03/01/2001 - "The purpose of this case report is to describe the management of a patient with adhesive capsulitis and spinal accessory nerve injury following a carotid endarterectomy. "
5.	Lymph Node Excision (Lymph Node Dissection) 04/01/2014 - "The extent of neck dissection, particularly routine level II or V lymphadenectomy, is still controversial as it may lead to spinal accessory nerve injury and associated postoperative morbidities. " 09/01/2015 - "Spinal accessory nerve injury is commonly a result of iatrogenic surgical trauma during lymph node excision. " 03/01/2013 - "Metastasis to the posterior neck, level V, is uncommon, and level V lymphadenectomy may lead to spinal accessory nerve injury and associated postoperative morbidities. "
