1. A sensor comprising:

  • an array of pins or needles configured to be inserted in tissue of a patient;

    a first sensing element separate from the array of pins or needles and configured to (i) detect a first parameter of the tissue, and (ii) generate a first signal indicative of the first parameter;

    a control module configured to (i) receive the first signal, (ii) monitor a second parameter of the tissue based on a second signal received from the array of pins or needles, and (ii) generate a third signal based on the first signal and the second parameter, wherein the third signal is indicative of a level of decompression of a nerve of the patient; and

    a physical layer module configured to wirelessly transmit the third signal from the sensor to a console interface module or a nerve integrity monitoring device.
