Effects of gabapentin on muscle spasticity and both induced as well as spontaneous autonomic dysreflexia after complete spinal cord injury

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
We recently reported that the neuropathic pain medication, gabapentin (GBP; Neurontin), significantly attenuated both noxious colorectal distension (CRD)-induced autonomic dysreflexia (AD) and tail pinch-induced spasticity compared to saline-treated ...

Opposite modulation of functional recovery following contusive spinal cord injury in mice with oligodendrocyte-selective deletions of Atf4 and Chop/Ddit3

Scientific Reports, 2023
The integrated stress response (ISR)-activated transcription factors ATF4 and CHOP/DDIT3 may regulate oligodendrocyte (OL) survival, tissue damage and functional impairment/recovery in white matter pathologies, including traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI)

Robotic body weight support enables safe stair negotiation in compliance with basic locomotor principles

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019
Background After a neurological injury, mobility focused rehabilitation programs intensively train walking on treadmills or overground. However, after discharge, quite a few patients are not able to independently negotiate stairs, a real-world task with ...

Neurotropin exerts neuroprotective effects after spinal cord injury by inhibiting apoptosis and modulating cytokines

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2021
Background/objective: Spinal cord injury (SCI) severely and irreversibly damages the central nervous system. Neurotropin (NTP), a nonprotein extract obtained from inflamed rabbit skin inoculated with vaccinia virus, is a drug that has been used for more ...

Schwann cell-derived exosomes containing MFG-E8 modify macrophage/microglial polarization for attenuating inflammation via the SOCS3/STAT3 pathway after spinal cord injury

Cell Death and Disease, 2023
Macrophage/microglia polarization acts as an important part in regulating inflammatory responses in spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the regulation of inflammation of Schwann cell-derived exosomes (SCDEs) for SCI repair is still unclear.

Limited Functional Effects of Subacute Syngeneic Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Transplantation after Rat Spinal Cord Contusion Injury

Cell Transplantation, 2016
Cell transplantation might be one means to improve motor, sensory, or autonomic recovery after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Among the different cell types evaluated to date, bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) have received considerable interest due

Investigation of perfusion impairment in degenerative cervical myelopathy beyond the site of cord compression

Scientific Reports, 2023
The aim of this study was to determine tissue-specific blood perfusion impairment of the cervical cord above the compression site in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging.

Ulnar nerve integrity predicts 1-year outcome in cervical spinal cord injury

Neurological Research and Practice, 2019
Background Accurate predictors of neurological recovery after cervical spinal cord injury are needed. Particularly, to tailor adequate rehabilitation plans. However, objective and quantifiable predictors are sparse.
