No physical therapy has been established to promote the regeneration of peripheral nerves.

Recently, promotion of tissue regeneration using low-intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation has been reported. In this study, we examined the appropriate ultrasound intensity for rat axon injury model. Interestingly, 30 mW/cm2 (SATA), which has already been clinically applied in the treatment of bone fractures, did not have a regeneration promoting effect, and 140 mW/cm2 showed the best regeneration.

These results indicate that appropriate ultrasound intensity is important for peripheral nerve regeneration therapy.
