Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Spinal cord injury represents a challenge in medical practice: it is increasing in incidence and patients experience a lower quality of life. However, innovations are on the rise for treatment of spinal cord injuries. Therapies for this condition remain in their infancy with a large gap in knowledge about the condition and appropriate therapeutic approaches. There is also shortage in available treatment modalities for treating different spinal cord injuries. The complexity of spinal cord injuries stem from the different types and the impact on different organs and functions.
The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss the recent innovations in diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord injuries. We hope this Special Issue will shed light on a very serious condition that causes significant disabilities and poses a large economic burden on health care systems all over the world.
Recent innovations in the diagnosis and management of spinal cord injuries include neuromodulation, rehabilitation and surgery. All types of research, including review articles.
Dr. Alaa Abd-Elsayed
