Comparative StudySpinal cord stimulation prevents the effects of combined experimental ischemic and traumatic brain injury. An MR study.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) interferes with cerebral blood flow (CBF). In this paper we try to evaluate the possible preventing effect of SCS in an animal model of combined ischemic and traumatic injury. ⋯ MR examination was performed in all the animals at the end of the experiments. Compared to the control group none but one of the SCS showed lesional pattern far from the craniectomy suggesting a 'preventing' effect of SCS on the secondary damage associated with our model combined ischemic and traumatic brain injury.
