A 16-week home-based trial combining testosterone with functional electrical stimulation and arm ergometry improved lean mass and corrected anemia in spinal cord injury patients, though aerobic capacity gains were not statistically signific
A Phase 3 pragmatic trial found that 12 hours of weekly intensive task-specific training added to usual care does not improve motor recovery in recent spinal cord injury patients, suggesting a potential plateau in the benefits of early reha
Brazilian scientists have developed Polylaminin, a protein derived from human placenta that stimulates nerve regeneration. In early trials, six paralyzed patients regained the ability to walk, prompting official Phase I clinical trials to b
A large retrospective cohort study shows traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) is associated with increased long-term cardiovascular, neurologic, psychiatric, and endocrine morbidity and higher mortality, even in previously healthy adults.
An implantable, biomimetic epidural electrical stimulation system targeted to the lowest thoracic spinal segments produced immediate pressor responses and durably reduced hypotensive complications in people with chronic spinal cord injury,
A recent randomized clinical trial comparing augmented to conventional blood pressure targets in acute spinal cord injury found no improvement in 6-month neurological outcomes, challenging current practices and highlighting risks of higher
