Résumé

The authors summarize changes in circuits after spinal cord injury and current strategies to target these circuits in order to improve recovery, but also advocate for new concepts of reorganizing circuits informed by multi-omic single-cell atlases.

Traumatisme médullaire

Un traumatisme médullaire ou traumatisme de la moelle épinière (ou moelle spinale) met en jeu le pronostic vital immédiat ou retardé. Il est à l'origine de troubles moteurs et sensitifs, et de troubles des fonctions neuro-végétatives. La médicalisation systématique et les progrès de la prise en charge pré-hospitalière ont permis d'améliorer considérablement la survie de ces blessés. L'évolution des connaissances, notamment dans la physiopathologie des lésions cellulaires, fait proposer régulièrement de nouvelles attitudes thérapeutiques, parfois controversées.

Spinal cord stimulator

A spinal cord stimulator (SCS) or dorsal column stimulator (DCS) is a type of implantable neuromodulation device (sometimes called a "pain pacemaker") that is used to send electrical signals to select areas of the spinal cord (dorsal columns) for the treatment of certain pain conditions. SCS is a consideration for people who have a pain condition that has not responded to more conservative therapy. There are also spinal cord stimulators under research and development that could enable patients with spinal cord injury to walk again via epidural electrical stimulation (EES).

Spinal cord injury research

Spinal cord injury research seeks new ways to cure or treat spinal cord injury in order to lessen the debilitating effects of the injury in the short or long term. There is no cure for SCI, and current treatments are mostly focused on spinal cord injury rehabilitation and management of the secondary effects of the condition. Two major areas of research include neuroprotection, ways to prevent damage to cells caused by biological processes that take place in the body after the injury, and neuroregeneration, regrowing or replacing damaged neural circuits.
