Özet

Object: Local applications of Dexketoprofen trometamol (dex) have been shown to increase in the sciatic nerve functional tests following the nerve injuries. The aim of the current study was to compare the efficacy of dex application for 1 and 5 days following nerve injury rat model. Possible effects of dex were checked by means of the Sciatic Function Index (SFI), Withdrawal of the Reflex Leg (WRL), number of axons, axon diameter, and nerve diameters.
