Lateral femoral cutaneous neuritis is called muscle paralysis and skin paralysis in traditional Chinese medicine. The main manifestation is paresthesia in the lateral thighs. The disease is more common in middle-aged men and is often caused by trauma and compression.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is caused by local pressure, unfavorable meridian qi, poor operation, or stagnation of qi and blood. Some patients have a history of trauma and a history of lying wet for a long time, paresthesias (burning, numbness, itching, or pinprick pain) in the lateral thighs, which worsen after standing for a long time or walking for a long time, and decreased or absent pain and tactile sensation in the lateral femoral area.
