Nerve tissue/cells cannot regenerate itself like the other tissues and cells in our bodies. Nerve damage is always permanent unless it is just because of pressure from another source in the body that can be fixed. For example if you strain your back and the muscles swell causing pressure on the nerves then it should go away when the swelling does. The correct answer is actually, "Not yet." There are several methods being researched for nerve repair. All of them are still in the small animal testing phase, although one group is close to switching to large animals. Expect research to take another 3-5 years before it moves on to actual human case studies. If you care to follow up feel free to check into Fibrin, Fibronectin, and I cant remember right now, but I know there's a group out there experimenting with an electrically conductive polymer and sugar molecules.
What else can I help you with?
Can a fall damage a nerve next to the eye?
Yes, a fall can potentially damage a nerve next to the eye, such as the infraorbital nerve. Trauma from a fall can lead to nerve compression, contusion, or injury, causing symptoms like numbness, pain, or loss of function in the area supplied by the affected nerve. If you suspect nerve damage from a fall, it is important to seek medical evaluation for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Can a needle injected to far into the t-12 - L-1 which you know hit nerves damage the femoral nerve?
If a needle inserted too far at the T12-L1 level hits nerves, it is possible to damage the femoral nerve as it originates from the lumbar nerve roots. Symptoms of femoral nerve damage may include weakness in the thigh or difficulty walking. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect nerve damage.
Which of the crainal nerves are involved in blindness?
Blindness can be caused by damage to the optic nerve (cranial nerve II), which is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. Damage or dysfunction of the optic nerve can result in partial or complete blindness.
What cranial nerve is associated with the eye and what damage does it cause?
The cranial nerve associated with the eye is the oculomotor nerve (Cranial Nerve III). Damage to this nerve can result in symptoms such as ptosis (drooping of the eyelid), strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), and difficulties in eye movements, leading to double vision. Additionally, it can affect pupil constriction, resulting in a dilated pupil that does not respond to light.
What neural injury will the corneal reflex not test for?
The corneal reflex will not test for injuries to the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) as it primarily assesses the integrity of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve.
When was Nerve Damage created?
Nerve Damage was created in 2004.
Is Nerve deafness permanent?
Yes, nerve deafness, also known as sensorineural hearing loss, is typically permanent. This type of hearing loss occurs due to damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve, which can result from factors such as aging, exposure to loud noises, infections, or genetic conditions. While there are treatments available to manage its effects, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants, the underlying nerve damage cannot be reversed.
Is heat or cold better for nerve damage?
Are you trying to heal or inflict nerve damage?
Lap Band fill cause Vagus nerve damage?
The vagus nerve is located in the arm of a human. The lap band fill procedure can cause nerve damage to this nerve.
Dose nerve damage pain come and go?
it depends on what the nerve damage was from and how much your body has healed
Damage to which cranial nerve can result in death?
vagus nerve
If the position of a nerve was reversed and its conduction velocity recorded would it be the same as if it were not reversed?
Nerve conduction is the same in both directions. The rate of conduction is mediated by the physical properties of the nerve and the voltage sensitive channels so as long as the diameter is constant the spread of the action potential would be the same in either direction.
Canine Nerve damage front paw?
Ask your Vet. Nerve damage may be caused by conditions that can be fixed.
Can mononucleosis cause permanent nerve damage?
Yes, it can, I've suffered from mono and have permanant nerve damage in my neck.
Can nerve damage in the be reverse?
Nerve damage can sometimes be reversed, depending on the type and severity of the injury. Peripheral nerves, for example, have a greater ability to regenerate compared to central nervous system nerves. Treatment options such as physical therapy, medication, and in some cases, surgery can aid recovery. However, complete recovery is not guaranteed, and some cases may lead to permanent impairment.
Is nerve damage bad?
Nerve damage is very bad, and often fatal. It is the leading cause of heart disease & stroke.
What has happened if you have neurapraxia?
Nerve Damage.
