Phaser-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN), colloquially known as stun-shock or nerve-burn, is a condition of the humanoid nervous system--particularly the peripheral nerves, though there may be central nervous system involvement as well--induced by the cumulative effects of multiple phaser hits, which may consist of excessive use of the stun setting or a much fewer number of high-powered hits. As such, PIPN is one of the most iconic soldier's maladies of the spacefaring age, much as trench-foot was to the soldiers of the first two Earth World Wars. (Star Trek: Sigils and Unions, DS9 novel Betrayal, TNG: "Samaritan Snare")

abstract	Phaser-induced peripheral neuropathy (PIPN), colloquially known as stun-shock or nerve-burn, is a condition of the humanoid nervous system--particularly the peripheral nerves, though there may be central nervous system involvement as well--induced by the cumulative effects of multiple phaser hits, which may consist of excessive use of the stun setting or a much fewer number of high-powered hits.

(Star Trek: Sigils and Unions, DS9 novel Betrayal, TNG: "Samaritan Snare") Although not named as such, the possibility of irreversible nervous system damage from overuse of the stun setting was mentioned onscreen in "Samaritan Snare" but without exact symptomology. The neurological results of a higher-powered hit are described in greater detail in Betrayal. The linking of these into a single condition, as well as the naming and detailed clinical description and other information is unique to Sigils and Unions. PIPN has been observed in humanoid species as dissimilar as Xindi-Primates and Cardassians, and presumably many others. (Star Trek: Sigils and Unions--The Thirteenth Order)
