nerve injury repair

Nerve injury repair involves guiding damaged nerve fibers to reconnect and restore function. When a nerve is injured, doctors may sew the nerve ends together or use grafts from nearby nerves to bridge gaps. The body's natural process then encourages nerve fibers to grow and re-establish connections with muscles and other tissues. Recovery depends on the severity of the injury and the gap length; sometimes, additional therapies like electrical stimulation or physical therapy aid this process. The goal is to help the nerve regain its ability to transmit signals, restoring movement, sensation, or both.
