The International Spinal Cord Injury Survey and the Learning Health System for Spinal Cord Injury.

T he experience of living with spinal cord injury (SCI) has fundamentally changed in recent years, across the world. In part because of improvements in emergency response to injury, clinical care, and acute rehabilitation, people with SCI, especially in high-resource countries, are living longer and in part because of the growing recognition that what matters to people living with SCI is the ex...

A Brief Review of New Advances in the Treatment of Spinal Cord Injuries

Introduction: Spinal Cord Injuries (SCIs) are the main factor in the sensory disorders, which are caused by spinal cord strikes such as car accidents. Previously it was thought that SCIs could not be treated. However, new advances in neurology showed possible treatment to relieve pain in these patients. This article presents a brief review about physiology of spinal cord, kinds of injuries and ...

The Lesioned Spinal Cord Is a “New” Spinal Cord: Evidence from Functional Changes after Spinal Injury in Lamprey

Finding a treatment for spinal cord injury (SCI) focuses on reconnecting the spinal cord by promoting regeneration across the lesion site. However, while regeneration is necessary for recovery, on its own it may not be sufficient. This presumably reflects the requirement for regenerated inputs to interact appropriately with the spinal cord, making sub-lesion network properties an additional inf...
