In new results from a clinical trial, researchers show that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore the muscle control and sensory feedback required for coordinated walking movements.

The healing of the spinal cord depends on carefully timed interactions between injured nerve cells and their surrounding ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the lateral hypothalamus (LH) improves walking and promotes recovery in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), new research showed. This intervention excites ...

Northwestern University researchers have developed a new injectable therapy that harnesses “dancing molecules” to reverse paralysis and repair tissue after severe spinal cord injuries. In a new study, ...

Treating chronic neuropathic pain with spinal cord stimulation may help prevent excess mortality associated with chronic pain, a new study from the University of Eastern Finland and Kuopio University ...

Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation ...

The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of ...

Tethered spinal cord syndrome is a rare neurological disorder where the spinal cord is attached, or tethered, to the tissues around the spine. This tethering of the spinal cord restricts its movements ...

Automatic personalization of electrode placement for transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation can take it to the next level.

Spinal problems refer to diseases or injuries that affect the spine, such as spinal stenosis. They cause symptoms that include lower back pain, numbness, and tingling sensations. There are many types ...
