Parsonage Turner Syndrome (PTS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by sudden, severe pain in the shoulder, arm, and chest. It is also known as neuralgic amyotrophy or brachial neuritis. Symptoms typically include intense pain in the shoulder and upper arm, weakness in the affected arm, and numbness or tingling in the arm and hand. In some cases, the pain may spread to the neck, back, and chest. The cause of PTS is unknown, but it is believed to be related to an autoimmune response. Treatment typically involves pain management and physical therapy.

At this time, there is no cure for Parsonage Turner Syndrome. Treatment focuses on managing the symptoms, which may include physical therapy, medications to reduce pain and inflammation, and lifestyle changes. Medications used to treat Parsonage Turner Syndrome may include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and anticonvulsants.
