 Spinal Research
These trials will test innovative treatments that could repair damage in the human spinal cord, and so restore sensation and movement.
Its aim is to find ways to repair spinal cord injury and to reverse the paralysis that results from it.
Following momentous progress in the laboratory, the next landmark is the launch of clinical trials with paralysed volunteers.

The neurotoxin acts on specific sites in the spinal cord, where the neurotoxin is incorporated into nerve cells, which then die.
This research may help scientists better understand the mechanisms of pain suffered by people after a spinal cord injury.
The American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation has more about treatments for spinal cord injury (www.aapmr.org).

 Spinal Cord Injuries, SCI, and Spinal Cord Injury Information
Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) occurs when a traumatic event results in damage to cells within the spinal cord or severs the nerve tracts that relay signals up and down the spinal cord.
This website was created to help Spinal Cord Injury patients and their families and friends with up-to-date information about spinal cord injuries (SCI).

 Spinal Cord Injury Lawyer, Personal injury referrals and information on spinal cord injuries
The spinal cord (and therefore the series of nerves that comprise the spinal cord) travel through the spinal column, which is divided into four sections: the cervical region, or neck area; the thoracic area, or midsection of the spine; the lumbar area, or lower back, and; the sacral area, or tailbone.
The spinal cord has many nerve fibers that serve as the messenger system for the human body, delivering commands from the brain to different parts of the body.
Damage to the spinal cord can result from traumatic injury, disease, or simply from the aging process.

 UCSD Researchers Use Gene Therapy To Promote Recovery From Spinal Cord Injuries
Rat Makes A Partial Recovery Following A Spinal Cord Lesion (February 21, 2002) -- Scientists at the Netherlands Institute for Brain Research have developed an experimental therapy which enables rats with a spinal cord lesion to partially recover from their paralysis.
Injured adult mammal spinal cords show little spontaneous recovery after injury often leading to paralysis.
When grafted back into the animal, the modified cells secreted NT-3 at the site of spinal cord injury, which in turn stimulated axon regrowth and resulted in some recovery of walking ability.

 SpinalCordInjuries
Spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when a traumatic event results in damage to cells within the spinal cord or severs the nerve tracts that relay signals up and down the spinal cord.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling.
The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur.

 HealthCentral - General Encyclopedia - spinal cord abscess
A spinal cord abscess is caused when infection occurs within the internal areas of the spine.
The outcome for a treated spinal cord abscess may vary.
Back injuries or trauma, including minor injuries, increase the risk of spinal cord abscess.

 Proper Seating and Positioning for Tractor Operators Affected by Spinal Cord Injuries
In order to reduce the risk of secondary injury and increase the ability to operate a tractor effectively, farmers/ranchers affected by Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) must have the proper seating system and be properly positioned in it.
Following a spinal cord injury, a farmer/rancher may have abnormal muscle tones and reflexes resulting in spasticity in the lower extremities.
These individuals include physical and occupational therapists with advanced training in seating and positioning for individuals with spinal cord injuries.

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The important thing to remember is that effective treatments of traumatic spinal cord injury also will be useful for atraumatic causes of spinal cord injury.
Because most patients have residual axons and we know that approximately 10% of the axons in the spinal cord can support functional recovery, remyelination is likely to produce significant functional improvement in a large minority of human spinal cord injury.
In fact, I believe that treatments that improve the function of surviving axons will be the first effective therapies for chronic spinal cord injury in humans.
