Interventional spine therapy for neuropathic pain in individuals with paraplegia

Our study represents the first retrospective exploratory analysis (phase I-style feasibility study) after spinal injection in patients with spinal cord injury. The primary results in terms of pain intensity, muscle tone and independence are promising and, in our view, represent a further therapeutic approach in addition to pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy options. However, further investigations are necessary for this.

Abstract

Our study represents the first retrospective exploratory analysis (phase I-style feasibility study) after spinal injection in patients with spinal cord injury. The primary results in terms of pain intensity, muscle tone and independence are promising and, in our view, represent a further therapeutic approach in addition to pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy options. However, further investigations are necessary for this.
