Do sensory nerves regenerate?
Mahathi, I’ve had several deep cuts to my fingers and foot, so i know how you feel. I can tell you in simple terms that some sensation will return after time, but it will never feel as before. Some numbness will remain and some new sensation may feel strange. What will happen is over time you will learn to ignore these feelings except in some of those quiet moments. This is what a friend just sent me: Can nerves grow and regenerate? The answer may be yes, according to a new research published in the journal Advanced Materials. This research shows that nerves from the central system, known as neurons, can grow and regenerate with the appropriate technique. The technique uses a polymer that contains a chemical substance that mimics the acetylcholine (AC) neurotransmitter. The AC induces nerves to grow by inducing the development of what is known as neuritis, the projections that neurons have to connect one to another. So, this polymer may induce the growth of the nerves. It works like a
