One of the major injuries of the nervous system is that of peripheral nerves. Although peripheral nerves show some capacity of regeneration after injury, the extent of regeneration is not remarkable. The present study aimed to evaluate the regeneration of the transected sciatic nerve by membrane and betamethasone in rats. ⋯ The results of the present study showed the positive effects of the chitosan membrane together with betamethasone on nerve regeneration of the transected sciatic nerve in a rat model.
