case_images: The inner diameter at the C5 nerve root outlet was approximately 0.44 cm, at the C6 nerve root exit was approximately 0.46 cm, and at the C7 nerve root exit was ~0.43 cm (Figure 1). Connect one pair of positive and negative electrodes of the electrical stimulation device to Jianyu (LI15) and Jianliao (SJ14), and connect the other pair of positive and negative electrodes to Jiaji (EX-B2) upper and lower points bilaterally (Supplementary Figure 1).

case_images: C5 nerve root exit on the left side was approximately 0.38 cm, at the C6 nerve root outlet was approximately 0.39 cm, and at the C7 nerve root outlet was approximately 0.36 cm (Figure 2). Compared with pre-treatment, the inner diameter of the left C5 to C7 brachial plexus nerve root outlet was significantly reduced, the pain of the patient's left neck and shoulder was significantly relieved (Table 2), and the movement disorder of limbs was improved (Table 2, Supplementary Video 2).

case_images: C5 nerve root outlet on the left side was approximately 0.30 cm, at the C6 nerve root outlet was approximately 0.38 cm, and at the C7 nerve root outlet was approximately 0.33 cm (Figure 3). Compared with the musculoskeletal ultrasound on BPI patient 2 years ago, the inner diameter of the left C5 to C7 brachial plexus nerve root outlet narrowed, and the patient did not experience a recurrence of soreness and pain (Table 2) in the left neck and shoulder, and the movement of limbs and emotion disorder restored to normal (Tables 2, 3).
