The best treatment options for spinal cord injuries

Spinal cord injury is still a world problem, but if the conditions are right, the right treatment can still maximize the recovery of spinal cord function, so that the patient’s function can be maximized. The early treatment of spinal cord injury is very important: 1, within eight hours of the golden rescue time: If the patient’s spinal cord injury within 8 hours of the impact treatment can be used to activate the injured cells, the use of nalmefene hydrochloride to remove oxygen free radicals, the use of monosialic acid tetrahexose ganglioside sodium to promote nerve cell recovery, the use of dehydration drugs to reduce spinal edema, you can minimize the secondary damage to the spinal cord, the maximum preservation of spinal cord function. The function of the spinal cord can be preserved to the greatest extent. 2, within three days of the golden opportunity for surgery spinal cord injury is often due to fracture dislocation compression of the spinal cord, so timely surgery to restore the normal spinal sequence, spinal cord compression can provide a good space for the recovery of the spinal cord, so the earlier the surgery the better, especially within 3 days when the patient’s systemic function is in the compensatory period for surgery, 3-7 days is in the period of decompensation, such as the patient’s systemic function After 7 days, the patient’s condition will be stable and the symptoms will be gradually reduced. 3, hyperbaric oxygen therapy hyperbaric oxygen therapy is currently one of the more effective methods of treatment of brain and spinal cord injury recognized internationally and domestically. The principle is to place the patient in a sealed hyperbaric chamber at 4 times the atmospheric pressure to press pure oxygen into the damaged spinal cord cells to activate the cells and promote recovery. This method is highly effective in the treatment of spinal cord injuries and should be treated early in the injury. However, many hospitals do not have this equipment. 4, stem cell transplantation Stem cell transplantation is currently the most cutting-edge treatment for spinal cord injury, combined with the first three treatment methods can achieve better recovery, the current use of autologous bone marrow stromal stem cells for differentiation into nerve cells, proliferation and expansion of the injured spinal cord segments implanted to provide hope for the treatment of spinal cord injury, but at present few medical units master this method.
