Gap injuries of peripheral nerves, resulting from trauma or neurosurgical procedures, presage badly, for the presence of the distal stump of the nerve seems to be indispensable for regeneration. The standard grafting method requires a lesion of a healthy nerve, and therefore various substitutional m

## Abstract This study was designed to investigate the effect of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on the recovery of the rat sciatic nerve following crush injury. A standard hemostat system was used to create the injury, with a length of 1.5 mm in three groups of 18 animals each. In group I, the crush
In this study we examine whether the systemic administration of FK506 or Cyclosporin A (CsA) expedited functional recovery following an axonotmetic nerve injury, and compared their effects in a rat model. Seventy-five adult Buffalo rats received a crush injury to the right posterior tibial nerve and
## Abstract Poor functional recovery found after peripheral nerve injury has been attributed to the misdirection of regenerating axons to reinnervate functionally inappropriate muscles. We applied brief electrical stimulation (ES) to the common fibular (CF) but not the tibial (Tib) nerve just prior
