| | Abstract: | Cronassial (a highly purified extract of 4 active gangliosides) has been used i 226 leprosy patients who had peripheral neuropathies. The presente report deals in details with the results achieved in the sensory modalities, with a short note on the motor and sympathetic changes. 15'5% of patients had excelent results, i.e. had complete sensory recovery, while 44% had good results. In 30% of chronic plantar ulcer a significant improvement was noted. Improved-sweating function and hair re-growth in a few patients is recorded. The role played by Gangliosides in nerve regeneration is discussed briefly. (AU).
