Abstract
The aim of our research is to study the effect of transcranial electrical stimula- tion on the regeneration of damaged sciatic nerve in rats. In the experiment, an operation was performed to cut the sciatic nerve at the level of the middle of the thigh and connect its ends with an epiperineural suture. After the operation, one group (experimental) of animals was subjected to electrical exposure using electrodes inserted subcutaneously in the fore- head and behind the auricles. The electric current was supplied in the mode of a combina- tion of a direct current of 0.8 ± 0.2 mA and a pulse current of 0.4 ± 0.1 mA with a frequency of 70 Hz, a pulse duration of 3.0-3.5 ms. There were 4 sessions of exposure lasting 1 hour with an interval of three days for two weeks after surgery. The animals were monitored for 9 months. Transcranial electrical stimulation has been found to activate regenerative morpho-functional processes in the nerve fibers of the damaged sciatic nerve in laboratory animals.
