Article Synopsis
- - This systematic review evaluated the effectiveness of three external stimulation techniques—electrical stimulation (ES), optogenetic stimulation (OS), and magnetic stimulation (MS)—for promoting peripheral nerve regeneration (PNR) following injuries, using data from studies published between 2018 and 2023.
- - A total of 19 studies were reviewed, revealing that while ES generally improved recovery across measures, high-frequency repetitive magnetic stimulation (HFr-MS) showed accelerated nerve repair, and OS was noted for better functional recovery outcomes.
- - The review highlights the need for standardized testing methods due to limitations in the available data and varied evaluation techniques, suggesting that these external stimulations could significantly enhance recovery for patients with nerve injuries.
