The present invention relates to the field of nerve conduits and uses and methods for treating neuropathy using such nerve conduits. In particular, the present invention relates to nerve conduits that support neuropathy repair by facilitating proper insertion and/or fixation of neural ends into the nerve conduit. Thus, a nerve conduit (10) is proposed comprising an elongate body (12) comprising a central portion (14) defining a lumen (16) and ends (18) defining respective openings (20) to the lumen (16), and the ends (18) are adjacent to the central portion (14) and arranged at longitudinally opposite ends of the elongate body (12). According to the invention, the cross-sectional area of the at least one opening (20) is greater than the cross-sectional area of the inner cavity (16) of the central portion (14). 本发明涉及神经导管领域以及使用该神经导管治疗神经病变的用途和方法。特别地，本发明涉及通过促进将神经端适当地插入和/或固定到神经导管中来支持神经病变修复的神经导管。因此，提出了神经导管(10)，包含细长主体(12)，该细长主体(12)包含限定内腔(16)的中心部分(14)和限定通往内腔(16)的各个开口(20)的端部(18)，并且该端部(18)与中心部分(14)相邻并布置在细长主体(12)的纵向相对端部
