Abstract
Measuring the outcome of peripheral nerve surgery is challenging because of the spectrum of functional impairment is dependent on the level and severity of the lesion. There are no nerve-specific patient-reported outcome measures, and no universally accepted outcome measurement both in terms of the parameters to be assessed and the methods and timing of the assessment. Nevertheless, the use of patient-reported outcome measures is fundamental to better understand the needs and expectations of patients, to take advantage of all treatment opportunities to offer the best possible support to these patients. This paper outlines current concepts in the measurement of outcome in peripheral nerve surgery.
