Although the dorsal scapular nerve normally contains motor fibres, an old dissection case report described sensory fibres that innervated a small region of skin between the fifth and sixth thoracic vertebrae. While the exact location of these sensory fibres is still unknown, they may have some relationship to the elusive condition known as notalgia parenthetical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dorsal Scapular Nerve is the source of shoulder, neck and mid-back pain. A dissection case report described sensory fibres that run from the dorsal scapular nerve between the fifth and sixth thoracic vertebrae. This nerve may also be a cause of pain. Here are some of the symptoms to watch out for. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dorsal Scapular Nerve is part of the brachial plexus, providing electrical stimulation to three muscles in the shoulder region. At one end, these muscles attach to the shoulder blade, while the other end connects to the spine. The nerve then passes through another muscle in the neck called the rhomboid major. When you experience symptoms, the pain in the anterior doorbell sign may be a symptom of a weakened nerve or a weakened or damaged DSN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
