战争历来造成大量的周围神经损伤。在当前的全球反恐战争中，先进的区域麻醉技术的更多使用似乎大大减少了以前报道的与导弹引起的神经损伤有关的疼痛综合征。此外，已经建立了一个新的计划，以开发先进的假肢设备，可以与神经组织接口，以获得直接的神经控制。随着这项技术的成熟，这些新一代假体装置获得的功能恢复可能超过标准神经修复技术所能获得的功能恢复。
Warfare historically causes a large number of peripheral nerve injuries. During the current global war on terror, an increased use of advanced regional anesthesia techniques appears to have significantly reduced pain syndromes that have been previously reported with missile-induced nerve injuries. Additionally, a new program has been established to develop advanced prosthetic devises that can interface with neural tissue to obtain direct neural control. As this technology matures, the functional restoration gained from these new generation prosthetic devices may exceed that which can be obtained by standard nerve repair techniques.
