Middle cluneal nerves (middle gluteal cutaneous nerves)

The middle cluneal nerves (also called the middle gluteal cutaneous nerves) are sensory nerves that arise from the dorsal rami of the first to third sacral nerves (S1 - S3). These nerves do not contribute to the sacral plexus, and they provide sensory innervation to the skin of the middle gluteal region over the gluteus maximus muscle.
