This article sheds light on the multifaceted nature of neuropathic pain associated with SCI, presenting an in-depth analysis of its prevalence, underlying mechanisms, and the array of current and future treatment options. Whether you're seeking insight into the latest therapeutic approaches, including nanomedicine and advanced pain management techniques, or exploring the biopsychosocial aspects of chronic pain management, our article thoroughly explores the state-of-the-art in neuropathic pain science.

In six, succinct, Thursday lunchtime sessions, we will explore how electrical stimulation techniques can enhance the well-being of individuals with denervated muscles. Whether caused by peripheral nerve injuries or lower motor neuron damage in the spinal cord, forms of electrical stimulation can reverse some of the physiological consequences of denervation.

It's not unusual for us to receive a call from a client with a spinal cord injury or a peripheral nerve injury who has been trying to use a handheld NMES (a form of Functional Electrical Stimulation) product and can't seem to produce a muscle contraction. The reason is likely because the muscle is denervated, and the NMES unit is unsuitable for that application. This article will explain why these units will not be suitable when denervated muscles are present, especially if it has been some time since the injury.

The effects of a spinal cord injury (SCI) vary depending on the neurological level of the damage and the extent of neural traffic interruption at the site of the lesion. Common primary effects may include paralysis and loss of sensation in the legs, arms, and trunk, as well as disruptions in bladder and bowel function and the regulation of blood pressure, heart rate, and lung function. In this article, we will look at this topic in detail and how FES Cycling can help persons following a spinal cord injury maintain fitness with a particular focus on cardiovascular function.
