2. Neuroregeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroregeneration

   These nerve injuries are more difficult to treat and generally have a poorer outcome. In addition, associated injuries, like injury to bone, muscle and skin, can make nerve recovery more difficult. [13] The level of injury: After a nerve is repaired, the regenerating nerve endings must grow all the way to their target. For example, a nerve ...

3. Epineurial repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epineurial_repair

   A nerve graft will be about 10 percent longer than the gap between the nerves, and the cross-section of the nerve end will be a quite larger than the diameter of the nerve graft to allow for growth. The use of harvested nerve grafts from a donor nerve provider contain Schwann cells and basal lamina endoneurial tubes that provide growth factors ...

4. Cortical remapping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_remapping

   Wilder Penfield, a neurosurgeon, was one of the first to map the cortical maps of the human brain. [3] When performing brain surgeries on conscious patients, Penfield would touch either a patient's sensory or motor brain map, located on the cerebral cortex, with an electric probe to determine if a patient could notice either a specific sensation or movement in a particular area on their body.

5. Preferential motor reinnervation - Wikipedia

   In comparison, a sensory nerve graft was statistically less affective in regeneration, looking specifically at nerve fiber count, percent nerve, and nerve densities as the main three comparisons between the different grafts. This means that the best surgical practices in regenerating nerves regarding PMR is using a nerve graft that is either a ...

6. Neural tissue engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_tissue_engineering

   Guidance methods of PNS regeneration use nerve guide channels to help axons regrow along the correct path, and may direct growth factors secreted by both ends of the nerve to promote growth and reconnection. Guidance methods reduce scarring of the nerves, increasing the functionality of the nerves to transmit action potentials after ...

   As many as half of those who get shingles at the age of 85 or over will end up with damaged nerves and chronic nerve pain, studies show. To treat that pain, doctors prescribe a wide range of drugs ...
