Neurology Research

KEY FINDING: Underlying differences in neural network behavior exist among individuals with similar motor impairments after SCI. These differences are often masked by population-level analyses, highlighting the need for personalized approaches.

KEY FINDING: Subjective arousal increased significantly from before to after stimulation in DGNS study sessions across all women.

KEY FINDING: The "combo" therapy reduced M1 microglia activation and glutamate levels in the short term, indicating a strong anti-inflammatory effect.

KEY FINDING: Inhibition of cAMP-specific PDEs, particularly PDE4, PDE7, and PDE8, shows potential in managing neuroinflammation and promoting regeneration in the central nervous system after SCI.

KEY FINDING: NMES and FES activities provided positive results on muscle mass after eight to sixteen weeks of training. Atkins and Bickel [21] reported increases in muscle volume that range from 20–72% with an average increase of 26% among NMES and FES studies.

KEY FINDING: There was a 3.2-point (13.2%) mean increase in total FSFI from baseline to post-intervention, with improvements in desire, arousal, orgasm and satisfaction.

KEY FINDING: WBV therapy, initiated 14 days post-SCI, resulted in the best overall functional recovery.

KEY FINDING: Peripheral electrotherapy, especially when combined with kinesiotherapy, showed a higher percentage of neurophysiological improvement than rTMS alone.

KEY FINDING: FES may attenuate the negative interoceptive bias associated with MDD by enhancing positive facial feedback.

KEY FINDING: Patients with spontaneous SCInf showed significantly better admission AIS, fewer multilevel SCInf, shorter hospital stay, and better AIS and ambulatory status on long-term follow-up.
