Abstract

Despite the fact that a number of therapeutic modalities have shown promise in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI), focusing solely on one aspect of recovery will not lead to successful and useful regeneration in people. The current study targets an integrated approach of neuroprotection and rehabilitation strategies to treat spinal cord injury, increasing nerve regeneration and functional recovery through functional sensorimotor training and cell transplantation. Sun et al., 2022 investigated the synergistic effect of exercise training and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation which could promote active recovery in a mice model of thoracic contusive spinal cord injury.
