Controlled Clinical Trial
Clinical correlates of cerebral diffusion tensor imaging findings in chronic traumatic spinal cord injury.
Prospective clinical case-control study. ⋯ In patients with chronic SCI, DTI changes can be observed in the cerebral white matter. These alterations are associated with the clinical state of the patients.
-
To determine the success rate of percutaneous first stage of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) and the efficacy and safety of permanent SNM for incomplete spinal cord lesion (SCL) patients suffering from chronic neurogenic non-obstructive urinary retention (N-NOR). ⋯ Research is needed to increase the success rate of the first stage SNM on incomplete SCL patients with N-NOR. Permanent SNM is highly efficacious in the medium follow-up.

Systematic review and effectiveness analysis. ⋯ Gabapentin and pregabalin are the two anticonvulsants which have been shown to have some benefit in reducing neuropathic pain.
-
Literature review. ⋯ The online global maps now inform an extrapolative statistical model, which estimates incidence for areas with insufficient TSCI data. The accuracy of this methodology will be improved through the use of prospective, standardised-data registries.
