Patient's question:
I am 37 years old. I recently contracted acute spinal cord inflammation and, after a period of treatment, I have finally fully recovered. However, I have been left with post-injury complications. Hello, Doctor. Regarding the treatment for post-injury complications of acute spinal cord inflammation, how should it be managed?Doctor's answer:
The current condition of the patient is still quite challenging. The reason is based on the fact that spinal cord involves inflammation of the nervous system, and nervous tissue is extremely special. Once nerve damage occurs, it is very difficult to repair and regenerate. Therefore, if sequelae reappear now, it will be very difficult to treat. Currently, some neurotrophic drugs can be used to see if they help, such as Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), etc. However, due to the inherent characteristics of nervous tissue, it is difficult to guarantee the effectiveness of the treatment. I hope you can understand this.
