Altered behavioural responses and functional recovery in rats following sciatic nerve compression and early vs late decompression
Objective: The aim of the study was to examine sensory behaviour and functional recovery in rats during nerve compression and after decompression. Compression injury is a far more common condition than nerve transection. The condition is characterised by numbness and a tingling/burning sensation, and some patients experience pain and allodynia during compression or after decompression treatment. T
