Research led by teams at several universities worldwide, including the University of Calgary, shows that a new implantable system on patients’ spines can restore blood pressure balance after a spinal ...

Mahrous et al. examine the controversial role of GABAARs in sensory transmission in the monkey cervical spinal cord. They find that blocking spinal GABAARs reduces sensory input to both motoneurons and supraspinal centers. These findings suggest that GABAARs facilitate sensory transmission to modulate both movement and sensory perception in primates.

The author discusses the challenges of walking and running due to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and L4 facet joint arthropathy, which cause joint pain and electrical shocks. Despite these difficulties and a spinal cord stimulator that often fails, they are gradually increasing their walking and stair climbing, focusing on recovery.

Scientists used 3D-printed scaffolds and stem cells to regrow nerve fibers across severed spinal cords in rats, restoring function and pointing to a promising new path for treating paralysis.

A groundbreaking study from the University of Auckland and Chalmers University of Technology is offering new hope for spinal cord injury patients. Researchers have developed an ultra-thin implant that...

Patients with spinal cord injuries have been offered the chance to walk again after the success of a Chinese trial.

The injury to the spinal cord is the worst type of disease worldwide. The disease is characterized by urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and paralysis, heart and respiratory abnormalities.
