Unlike the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nerve cells, whose long extensions reach the skin and internal organs, are capable of regenerating after injury. This is why injuries to the central ...

The FDA approved the use of a spinal cord stimulation therapy for the treatment of chronic pain caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy, according to a press release from Medtronic.This ...

Peripheral nerves travel from the spinal cord to muscles, skin, internal organs, and glands. In polyneuropathy, multiple peripheral nerves throughout the body malfunction at the same time.

When the spinal cord is injured, the damaged nerve fibers--called axons--are normally incapable of regrowth, leading to permanent loss of function. Considerable research has been done to find ways ...

The nervous system is capable of being modified to a level where we can achieve nerve fiber growth. Ultimately, the goal is to promote growth and sustain it long enough for recovery of movement to ...

The function of glial cells in the PNS The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for carrying signals to and from the CNS.

RA can hurt your peripheral nerves, which are part of the peripheral nervous system. That’s the communication system that helps your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) send and ...
