Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are severe and life-changing conditions that result in the disruption of neural pathways and the loss of motor and sensory functions below the site of injury. Finding effective treatment strategies to promote nerve regeneration and functional recovery in SCI patients is a significant challenge for researchers studying neurotrauma. Recent studies have suggested that Semaphorin 3 (SEMA3) proteins, which are primarily involved in guiding nerve growth during development, ...

Context: Bell’s palsy (BP) is an idiopathic, acute peripheral-nerve palsy involving the facial nerve. BP patients usually present muscular hypotonia, altering the facial expression. These changes can lead to functional insufficiencies and psychological changes. Electrical stimulation (ES) can help prevent muscle atrophy, as well as promote tissue healing, contributing to recovery from facial paralysis. Objective: Review the effectiveness of the application of ES in the treatment of BP. Data Sour...
