Abstract:

A variety of treatments for repairing the peripheral nerve injuries have been developed. Monitoring the peripheral nerve regeneration process in vivo without invasion, however, is less reported. This article describes the treatment options for the peripheral nerve regeneration and compares the treatments suitable for nerve injuries. On the other hand, this article provides choices of imaging tools for visualizing the nerve regeneration in real-time. Using the appropriate imaging tool may help understand the process and mechanism of peripheral nerve regeneration under various treatments.
