Model: Right sciatic nerve section followed by immediate microsurgical epineural suture
Motor cortex stimulation improved functional recovery, nerve regeneration and muscle reinnervation from week 4 onwards compared with unstimulated controls (P<0.05), and produced higher reinnervation rates than peripheral nerve stimulation, with the best results in the acute stimulation group.
