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 ...

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.

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 ...

The localization of molecularly distinct microglia populations to Alzheimer's disease pathologies using QUIVER

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2023
New histological techniques are needed to examine protein distribution in human tissues, which can reveal cell shape and disease pathology connections.

Unresolved excess accumulation of myelin-derived cholesterol contributes to scar formation after spinal cord injury [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Background: Spinal cord injury triggers complex pathological cascades, resulting in destructive tissue damage and incomplete tissue repair. Scar formation is generally considered as a barrier for regeneration in central nervous system (CNS), while the intrinsic mechanism of scar-forming after spinal cord injury has not been completed deciphered ...

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

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.

Mediolateral damping of an overhead body weight support system assists stability during treadmill walking

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2020
Background Body weight support systems with three or more degrees of freedom (3-DoF) are permissive and safe environments that provide unloading and allow unrestricted movement in any direction.

Beyond treatment of chronic pain: a scoping review about epidural electrical spinal cord stimulation to restore sensorimotor and autonomic function after spinal cord injury

Neurological Research and Practice, 2023
Epidural electrical epinal cord stimulation (ESCS) is an established therapeutic option in various chronic pain conditions. In the last decade, proof-of-concept studies have demonstrated that ESCS in combination with task-oriented rehabilitative ...
