Abstract		In contrast to clinical studies, animal studies provide the investigator with much greater control over the variables of nerve regeneration and opportunity to develop animal models to study each variable independently. Selection of an assessment technique to measure neural regeneration is critical to a scientific study of a nerve reconstruction technique. A rat sural nerve with gap model of regeneration through nerve guide was assessed by electrophysiological techniques. The compound action potential (CAP) was recorded.The results demonstrated that peripheral nerve regeneration through nerve guides can be successfully evaluated by electrophysiological methods. Coreful selection of the technique appropriate for the particular question asked is important. The combined electrophysiological and histomorphometric measurements have the advantage of greater objectivity.
