The latest in paraplegia treatment

Paraplegia treatment has recently seen some new advances compared to traditional treatments, mainly including anti-spasmodic treatment, compensatory modalities to improve the patient’s function or self-care ability, and surgical treatment. 1. Antispasmodic treatment: To help relieve and treat muscle spasms that interfere with existing functions, such as stretching exercises, anti-spasmodic drugs, botulinum toxin injections, and posterior spinal nerve rhizotomy. 2. Compensatory modes to improve patients’ function or self-care ability: through assistive devices such as anti-shaking spoons, walking aids, foot and ankle orthoses, etc., to make up for the function and improve the quality of patients’ survival. 3. Surgical treatment: new advances are mainly in nerve function reconstruction surgery, such as tendon transposition, cervical nerve transposition, etc. It is suggested that paraplegic patients should consult the doctor in time and under the guidance of professional doctors, do not treat blindly to avoid the adverse consequences.
