A University of Pittsburgh study conducted at the UPMC Mercy Pavilion found that spinal cord stimulation can help stroke survivors regain arm movement and ease muscle stiffness. In a small clinical ...

The selective MAOB inhibitor KDS2010 significantly improved functional recovery in a spinal cord injury animal model. Treated animals showed marked restoration of behavioral scores and locomotor ...

Your spinal cord needs a steady blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. This blood helps the spinal cord cells send nerve impulses to the rest of your body. The impulses are ...

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, such as following a spinal cord injury, has made great strides in recent years. However, high-frequency stimulation pulses, which are used in many current ...

Stroke and spinal cord injuries can severely impair motor functions, and understanding how to promote recovery is a critical challenge. While damaged neurons in the brain and spinal cord have limited ...

A tethered spinal cord cannot move freely in the spinal canal because it is attached to tissues around the spine. The condition is often seen in infants, leading to pain and nerve damage that worsen ...
