Abstract

This document discusses the current state of research and treatment options for spinal cord injuries (SCIs). SCIs can result in permanent motor, sensory, and sphincter deficits, and there is currently no available treatment. The most common causes of SCIs are road accidents and falls. While there have been advancements in understanding the mechanisms and cell populations involved in SCIs, current treatment strategies have shown limited efficacy in humans. Recent research has focused on cell transplantation, neuromodulation, and physiotherapy techniques to promote recovery. This special issue includes research papers and literature reviews that explore these treatment approaches and emphasize the importance of combining complementary methods for effective treatment.
