Neuroprotective effects of acetyl-L-carnithine in experimental chronic nerve compression neuropathy. A prospective, randomized, and placebo-controlled trial

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: We designed this experimental study to examine the potential positive influences of the acetylated derivative of acetyl-L-carnithine, an endogenous substance present in the nervous system, on chronic compression neuropathy. This is the first study ever published on the medical treatment of experimental chronic compression neuropathy.
