Objective　 To review researches of treatment of peripheral nerve injury with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) regarding mechanism, parameters, and cl inical appl ication at home and abroad. Methods The latest original l iterature concerning treatment of peri pheral nerve injury with NMES was extensively reviewed. Results NMES should be used under individual parameters and proper mode of stimulation at early stage of injury. It could promote nerve regeneration and prevent muscle atrophy. Conclusion NMES plays an important role in cl inical appl ication of treating peripheral nerve injury, and implantable stimulation will be the future.
