Electrical Stimulation Wakes Up Regenerating Nerves—Exercise Keeps Them Growing
Mechanism: Brief electrical stimulation and exercise synergistically accelerate axon regeneration after nerve injury by boosting BDNF and neurotrophin signaling. Readout: Readout: This combined approach halts the Schwann cell countdown and advances recovery by over 25%.
Brief electrical stimulation after nerve injury accelerates axon regeneration. Just one hour of 20 Hz stimulation can advance recovery by months. Exercise amplifies this through BDNF and neurotrophin signaling. The combination might be the key to beating the 12-18 month Schwann cell countdown.
