Abstract

A method for improving the regeneration of transected peripheral nerves in mammals and man, by administering a sufficient amount of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) to a mammalian host in need of such treatment. If desired, administration of the medicament containing insulin like growth factor can be carried out locally by infusion.
