A study by Arthur English and Nancy Thompson has found that exercise can promote the regeneration of peripheral nerve injuries. In both males and females, the effect requires the assistance of androgens such as testosterone.
Several experiments have been conducted on animals to study the effects of acupuncture or electroacupuncture on nerve injuries. Here are some of the results and conclusions: acupuncture increases the survival of damaged neurons electroacupuncture increases the number of nerve fibres electroacupuncture increases axon density and blood vessel area electroacupuncture improves nerve conduction speed electroacupuncture improves…

A nerve if formed of bundles of axons surrounded by layers of connective tissue. Nerves are responsible for reflexes, sensation and muscle contractions. Pain, tingling, numbness and muscle weakness…
