Relevance – Peripheral nerve injuries lead to various conditions, including paresis or paralysis. – Daily ES to facial nerve proximal to injury affects early events in nerve regeneration process in rats by initiating axon sprout formation.

Rats received 30 min of ES daily for: – 1 d (day of injury), 2 d, 4 d, 7 d, or daily until complete functional recovery. – Untreated animals received no ES. Rats were observed daily for return of facial function.
