Single session of brief electrical stimulation immediately following crush injury enhances functional recovery of rat facial nerve. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2012;49(3):451–58. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2011.03.0033 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2011.03.0033JSP Aim – Test whether electrical stimulation (ES) adminis- tered immediately after crush injury further decreases time for complete recovery from facial paralysis. Relevance – Peripheral nerve injuries lead to various conditions, including paresis or paralysis. – Daily ES to facial nerve proximal to injury affects early events in nerve regeneration process in rats by initiating axon sprout formation.

Rats received 30 min of ES daily for: – 1 d (day of injury), 2 d, 4 d, 7 d, or daily until complete functional recovery. – Untreated animals received no ES. Rats were observed daily for return of facial function.
