Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Brain and spinal cord injuries are devastating conditions that can lead to serious long-term disability or even death. Understanding the mechanisms behind these injuries and developing effective therapeutic strategies is crucial to improving outcomes for affected individuals. These injuries involve complex primary and secondary injury mechanisms that require multifaceted therapeutic strategies. Advances in surgical techniques, pharmacotherapy, rehabilitation, and experimental treatments hold promise for improving the quality of life of those affected. Ongoing research into innovative therapies such as neuroprotectants, stem cells, gene therapy, invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation techniques, and biomaterials continues to provide hope for more effective treatments in the future.
