Sensory recovery

Sensory recovery refers to the process by which the nervous system restores sensation, such as touch, temperature, or pain, after injury or nerve damage. When nerves are damaged, they may stop sending signals properly, leading to numbness or loss of feeling. Over time, with repair and natural healing, these nerves can regrow or reconnect, gradually restoring sensation. This process varies depending on the extent of injury and individual healing capacity, and sometimes sensory recovery may be partial or slow. Overall, it's the body's way of regaining sensory function after damage, helping improve function and quality of life.
