Abstract

Current strategies for promoting faster and more effective peripheral nerve healing have utilized a wide variety of techniques and approaches. Nerve grafts, conduits, and stem cell therapy all have their respective advantages. However, there are still some difficulties in attaining complete functional recovery with a single treatment modality. The utilization of adjuvant treatments, in combination with current standard-of-care methods, offers the potential to improve patient outcomes. This paper highlights the current landscape of adjuvant treatments for enhancing peripheral nerve repair and regeneration.
