Electrical stimulation does not enhance nerve regeneration if delayed after sciatic nerve injury: the role of fibrosis

Electrical stimulation has been shown to accelerate and enhance nerve regeneration in sensory and motor neurons after injury, but there is little evidence that focuses on the varying degrees of fibrosis in the delayed repair of peripheral nerve tissue. In this study, a rat model of sciatic nerve tra...
