Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an existing incurable disease that brings great pain and life obstacles to patients. Spinal cord electrical stimulation is an effective means to alleviate spinal cord injury. However, its complicated mechanism of action is still unclear. This article aims to summarize several different spinal cord electrical stimulation methods, analyze the stimulation effect, and briefly describe the current understanding of its origin and mechanism of action. In recent years, several application cases of the electrical stimulation system of stimulation methods have confirmed its positive effects in spinal cord injury diseases and provided new perspectives for the improvement of spinal cord injury. Finally, the possible development direction and corresponding challenges of spinal cord electrical stimulation in the future are proposed.
Highlights
By means of machine learning, the feature information is classified, and the mapping relationship between the feature information and the action is established and transformed into stimulus signals. After that, when this type of signal is collected again, the receptor can be stimulated to produce the corresponding action, and the motor function can be restored. is technique has been applied to solve the problem of Spinal cord injury (SCI), and a breakthrough has been achieved [22]. e purpose of this paper is to summarize the different methods of spinal cord electrical stimulation used to restore motor function, analyze their advantages and disadvantages, and briefly introduce the potential future of this technique
Different spinal cord stimulation methods may have different mechanisms; the current view in this field is that intraspinal cord stimulation may activate the motor cistern and the inherent neural network in the spinal cord to complete coordinated limb movement [87]. e epidural electrical stimulation may increase the baseline excitability of the spinal cord, so as to keep the nerve triggering movement intact after SCI [41, 88]
Researchers have made great efforts to improve the lives of patients with spinal cord injury in their respective fields. is article first introduces the different causes of spinal cord injury and various existing treatment methods and briefly introduces the current understanding of its origin and mechanism of action
Summary
Once SCI occurs, it will lead to spinal cord nerve dysfunction below the injury level, such as sensory and autonomic dysfunction, impaired motor function, and sphincter and autonomic nerve dysfunction [1]. Engineering methods that combine multiple fields are used to treat spinal cord injuries, such as electrical stimulation techniques. By means of machine learning, the feature information is classified, and the mapping relationship between the feature information and the action is established and transformed into stimulus signals After that, when this type of signal is collected again, the receptor can be stimulated to produce the corresponding action, and the motor function can be restored. E purpose of this paper is to summarize the different methods of spinal cord electrical stimulation used to restore motor function, analyze their advantages and disadvantages, and briefly introduce the potential future of this technique After that, when this type of signal is collected again, the receptor can be stimulated to produce the corresponding action, and the motor function can be restored. is technique has been applied to solve the problem of SCI, and a breakthrough has been achieved [22]. e purpose of this paper is to summarize the different methods of spinal cord electrical stimulation used to restore motor function, analyze their advantages and disadvantages, and briefly introduce the potential future of this technique
