Introduction
This Wiki page aims to provide readers with a background understanding of Burner’s syndrome (also known as Stinger’s syndrome), why the young athletic population are more at risk and give an insight into the different management options which are available. We will discuss the different treatment options supported by research evidence, with a focus on the efficacy of each treatment options in returning the athlete to the sport and preventing future recurrence and potentially more serious neurological developments.
What is Burner’s Syndrome?
Burner’s syndrome is a common injury in contact sports and reflects an upper cervical root injury. It is a transient nerve injury which occurs following over-stretching of the upper trunk of the brachial plexus or compression of the C5/C6 nerve root, depending on the mechanism of injury. Recurrences are common and can lead to permanent neurologic deficits. Burner’s syndrome tends to be a grade I or grade II nerve injury.
