Spinal injuries refer to damage or trauma to the spinal cord or vertebral column that can result in various neurological problems and disabilities. These injuries can be caused by trauma, such as car accidents or falls, as well as non-traumatic conditions like infections or tumors. Spinal injuries can lead to paralysis, loss of sensation, and loss of motor function below the level of injury. Research in this area aims to understand the mechanisms of spinal cord injury, develop treatments to improve recovery and function, and prevent secondary complications like infections or pressure ulcers. Current research also focuses on regenerative medicine and stem cell therapies to promote nerve regeneration and functional recovery after spinal cord injury.
