Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been a significant transformation in treatment approaches for spinal cord injury (SCI). The application of regenerative medicine and/or novel drugs to SCI in clinics had been reported by various experts. The effectiveness of early decompression surgery is becoming increasingly apparent and more widespread. Additionally, several new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for SCI have been reported, including the application of AI as a prognostic prediction method, novel imaging modalities and innovative rehabilitation tools showing potential effectiveness to promote functional recovery in SCI patients.
In this Special Issue, we aim to summarize these recent advancements and try to provide insights into prospects and directions to move in.
Dr. Masao Koda
