Strategies to promote peripheral nerve regeneration: electrical stimulation and/or exercise.
Enhancing the regeneration of axons is often considered to be a therapeutic target for improving functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury. In this review, the evidence for the efficacy of electrical stimulation (ES), daily exercise and their combination in promoting nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injuries in both animal models and in human patients is explored. The rationale...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation for promoting peripheral nerve regeneration.
The peripheral nervous system has the intrinsic capacity to regenerate axons into target tissues, and peripheral nerves severely damaged or transected can be reconstructed by microsurgical techniques. The aim of peripheral nerve surgery is to pave way for fast and most possible thorough functional recovery. However, full functional recovery is rarely seen and several reasons for this have alrea...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation combined with exercise increase axonal regeneration after peripheral nerve injury.
Although injured peripheral axons are able to regenerate, functional recovery is usually poor after nerve transection. In this study we aim to elucidate the role of neuronal activity, induced by nerve electrical stimulation and by exercise, in promoting axonal regeneration and modulating plasticity in the spinal cord after nerve injury. Four groups of adult rats were subjected to sciatic nerve ...
متن کاملNanotechnology for peripheral nerve regeneration
Peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) can lead to lifetime loss of function and disfigurement. Different methods such as conventional allograft procedures and using of biological tubes have problems for damaged peripheral nerves reconstruction. Designed scaffolds with natural and synthetic materials are now widely used in the reconstruction of damaged tissues. Utilization of absorbable and non-absorb...
