Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Electric shock-induced hand numbness can be treated through medications, acupuncture, and other methods. Patients undergo electromyography to assess nerve conduction velocity. B-complex vitamins are commonly used drugs that improve circulation and provide nutritional support to nerves. Vitamin B1, B6, and B12 can be administered via intramuscular injection. Acupuncture and similar therapies may also be used in treatment. Most mild cases do not involve skin damage, and the majority of patients respond well to treatment.
