Nerve injury can significantly impair motor, sensory, and autonomic functions. Understanding nerve degeneration, particularly Wallerian the mechanisms of regeneration is crucial for developing effective treatments. This manuscript reviews use advanced hydrogels that have been researched to enhance regeneration. Hydrogels, due their biocompatibility, tunable properties, ability create a supportive microenvironment, are being explored effectiveness in repair. Various types hydrogels, such as chitosan-, alginate-, collagen-, hyaluronic acid-, peptide-based discussed roles promoting axonal growth, functional recovery, myelination. Advanced formulations incorporating growth factors, bioactive molecules, stem cells show significant promise overcoming limitations traditional therapies. Despite these advancements, challenges achieving robust reliable remain, necessitating ongoing research optimize hydrogel-based interventions neural
