Abstract

Spinal cord injury (SCI) presents significant challenges to neurology, impacting motor and sensory functions and leading to profound disability. While initial trauma management is critical, ongoing neurological care and rehabilitation play a vital role in improving long-term outcomes for SCI patients. This study explores the role of neurology in the management and recovery of spinal cord injuries, focusing on how neurologists can enhance patient outcomes through comprehensive care approaches. A review of current practices and advancements in the neurological management of SCI was conducted. Data were gathered from peer-reviewed literature, clinical guidelines, and case studies. Key aspects of neurological care, including acute management, rehabilitation strategies, and long-term follow-up, were analyzed to assess their impact on patient outcomes. The study found that neurologists are integral to optimizing SCI management through early intervention, personalized rehabilitation plans, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Advances in neurorehabilitation techniques and emerging therapies, such as neuroplasticity stimulation and assistive technologies, were highlighted as significant contributors to improved functional recovery and quality of life for SCI patients. Neurologists play a crucial role in enhancing outcomes for spinal cord injury patients. By focusing on comprehensive care strategies, including early assessment, personalized rehabilitation, and interdisciplinary collaboration, neurology can significantly improve recovery trajectories and overall patient well-being. Continued research and integration of innovative therapies are essential for advancing SCI management.
