Conditioning Electrical Stimulation Fails to Enhance Sympathetic Axon Regeneration
We conclude sympathetic axons may retain some regenerative ability, but no enhancement is exhibited after CES, which may be accounted for by the inability of the ES paradigm to recruit the small-caliber sympathetic axons into activity. Further studies will be needed to optimize ES parameters to enhance the regeneration of all neuron types.
