This study investigates changes in spinal excitability using peripheral nerve stimulation. We use the Hoffman reflex (H-reflex) to assess segmental changes following a neuroplasticity-priming ...

Autonomic dysreflexia (AD) is a potentially life threatening condition common in people who have experienced spinal cord injury in the upper back. AD occurs when an injury disrupts the nervous ...

Reflexes are automatic and involuntary actions the body produces in response to certain stimuli. While some reflexes can involve muscles and movement, others involve internal processes within the body ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Research led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine found that the widely prescribed pain-relief drug gabapentin can prevent harmful structural ...

Your autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of your central nervous system (CNS) that controls unconscious activities like breathing and digestion. This system is always working, whether or not ...

A new study identifies a druggable cellular target that, if controlled properly, could prevent or lessen autonomic dysfunction and improve quality of life for people with spinal cord injury. In ...

In patients with spinal cord injuries, a medical emergency known as autonomic dysreflexia can occur and have potentially life-threatening consequences. Autonomic dysreflexia, also known as autonomic ...
