Neuromodulation Promotes Tissue Regeneration Over Fibrosis
Abstract
Background: Combat extremity injuries are typified by severe trauma to multiple musculoskeletal tissues. These injuries are known force-subtractors and source of long-term disability. This project directly addresses the FY20PRORP ARA Focus Area of Retention Strategies by testing how neuromodulation can improve healing outcomes for multi-tissue extremity injuries, ultimately restoring tissue function and affecting return to duty. The outcomes of this research will evaluate clinically available therapeutics as potential modulators of nerve-mediated tissue regeneration and attempt to identify novel neuromodulation therapeutic targets.
