Effects of electrical stimulation on peripheral nerve regeneration

Over the past few years, my group has been investigating the effects of different parameters of electrical stimulation on nerve regeneration of a 10-mm gap of rat sciatic nerve created between the proximal and distal nerve stumps, which were sutured into silicone rubber chambers. In this review, I will introduce our work and share our experience with investigators who are interested in the fields of nerve regeneration and biomedical engineering.
