Neuromuscular Damage and Repair after Dry Needling in Mice
Table 2
Minor nerve injuries in the bibliography. We selected studies using nerve injury without separation of the nerve ends, such as crush and neurotoxic. The nerve crush consists of compression with forceps around the nerve for a few seconds. The resultant injury is damaged in all axons without separation of the ends (Lopez-Vales et al., 2008 [19]; Rich and Lichtman, 1989 [17]; Verhaagen et al., 1988 [18]). Similarly, the neurotoxic acrylamide affects all axons without affecting the connective tissue (DeGrandchamp et al., 1990 [20]). Since nerve injury is far from the synaptic contact, some periods are longer than those found in our study. For example, in the report of Lopez-Vales and coworkers [19], the site of sciatic nerve injury was about 45 mm away from the muscle.
