Spinal Cord Medicine: Evidence-Based Diagnosis and Treatment of Spinal Cord Injuries

Diaz, Carson

Spinal Cord Medicine: Evidence-Based Diagnosis and Treatment of Spinal Cord Injuries

The spinal cord is a thin, long and tubular structure made up of nervous tissue. It extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column. Impairment to the spinal cord results in temporary or permanent changes in its functioning. There are several symptoms of spinal cord injury (SCI), such as loss of muscle function, loss of sensation and difficulty in breathing. An X-ray, MRI or CT scan might be utilized to evaluate whether or not there is damage in the spinal column and the place wherever it is situated. The treatment of SCI concentrates on the prevention of additional injury and helping persons suffering from SCI to lead an active and productive lifestyle. Some conditions of SCI can be managed with medications, to relieve muscle stiffness and pain in addition to medications for improving sexual functioning, bladder control and bowel control. This book is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord injuries. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
