This study investigates the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) with a 660-nm laser on nerve regeneration and muscle morphometry following median nerve axonotmesis in rats. Sixteen Wistar rats were divided into a control group and laser-treated group, with the latter receiving 10 applications of PBM (660 nm; 20 mW; 10 J/cm; 0.4 J; and 20 s) over 2 weeks.

- - Peripheral nerve injuries can lead to sensory issues and reduced functional abilities, requiring effective regeneration strategies; exercise is one potential approach.
- - In a study involving Wistar rats with median nerve crush, researchers compared a control group to a swimming group subjected to forced swimming for two weeks to assess recovery outcomes.
- - Results showed that the swimming group had significantly poorer functional recovery and nerve regeneration, indicated by lower nerve fiber metrics and impaired muscle fiber areas compared to the control group.
