Dear forum members

As a year 11 student at Glenunga International High School, I have started my research project this term and the topic that I have chosen is: “What are the currently employed and potential future treatments for recovery after spinal cord injuries?”

I would really appreciate some advice on the procedures involved with some of the therapeutic strategies for treating Spinal Cord Injuries that are generally considered effective as well as the associated benefits and adverse effects.

Thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely,

Cherie

Welcome cherie!

Right now there's not really any certain treatment for SCI recovery apart from physiotherapy and other smaller things like that. There is however lots of promising research going on for potential "cures" which you can find in our treatment/cures section - www.inspiredsciforum.com/board/26/treatment-cure-research-info-news

Good luck with the study!

Hello Cherie,
Have you checked the Clinical Studies.gov to see what trials are currently on board? That is a good start to see what is going on in the world. Plus INVIVO is implanting the scaffold in a person back to connect the cord. Many Biotech companies have research projects going on from Mechanical legs to electrical stimulators. There is tons of information out there. Try also Miami institute and many of the big hospitals. They all have big research projects going on. I do many at Kessler institute in West Orange, New Jersey.

You ask about effective therapies. I can't say any are effective for walking. It depends on someones injury level. That plays a big role to determine if a therapy can work. I would start by learning the levels of injury and how that effects a person. Then you can get an idea how damaged someone really is. Best of luck.
