Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation treated anterior talo-fibular ligament injured rat through the gut-joint axis and intestinal microbiota
TENS ameliorated ATFL injury rat by regulating the NOD2/IL-6/NF-κB/BMP-2/TGF-β and changed the intestinal microbiota through the gut-joint axis. Dominant intestinal microbiota was associated with FMT and could improve ATFL injury rat.
