It is very difficult to recover from a spinal cord injury with paraplegia, and the longer the delay, the lower the possibility of recovery, and even some patients will never recover.
Whether or not a person can recover fully from a spinal cord injury with paraplegia is related to the extent of the injury and its treatment and rehabilitation. Within 6 hours after the injury is the critical period, and within 24 hours is the acute phase, which should be treated as early as possible. Such as hormone shock therapy, dehydration therapy, free radical scavengers, drugs to improve microcirculation and other treatments and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Surgery can only relieve the compression on the spinal cord and restore the stability of the spinal column, preventing further damage to the spinal cord, but at present it is not possible to restore the function of the damaged spinal cord.
Those who are able to undergo effective treatment and rehabilitation as early as possible during the acute period can make a good recovery, which may take 3 to 6 months or longer. Those who do not receive effective treatment in time may have slow or no recovery of function and may become severely disabled.
Early surgery to relieve spinal cord compression and eliminate factors that may further aggravate continued spinal cord injury is critical, and requires active and cooperative treatment to create conditions for nerve recovery as much as possible.
Spinal cord injury paraplegia, high disability rate, poor prognosis, it is recommended to immediately go to a specialized hospital to avoid delay.
