脊髓损伤(spinal cord injury, SCI)是一种临床常见的严重外伤性中枢神经损伤,目前临床上对于SCI的治疗仍是一个世界性难题。
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common and severe traumatic central nervous system injury in clinical practice. Currently, the treatment of SCI remains a worldwide challenge.
据国外研究证实:“经皮脊髓电刺激(Transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation TSCS)”是一种有效作用于激活人体运动相关回路的非侵入性技术。该方法利用独特的无痛刺激波形,通过放置在脊柱皮肤上的电极传输,并可能通过背根(Dorsal roots,DRs)传播以激活脊髓神经回路。该项研究的成果最近发表在《Nature Medicine》上,研究结果显示,经皮脊髓电刺激治疗技术是安全且有一定效果的。
International studies have confirmed that TSCS is an effective non-invasive technique to activate the body's movement-related circuits. This method utilizes a unique stimulation waveform that is transmitted through electrodes placed on the skin of the spine and spreads through the dorsal roots (DRs) to activate the spinal cord neural circuits. The related study was recently published in the journal "Nature Medicine", showing that the transcutaneous spinal cord electrical stimulation treatment technology is safe and has certain effects.
本研究的主要目的是:对慢性不完全性(AIS B/C/D)脊髓损伤患者实施为期6个月的佩戴“经皮脊髓电刺激”进行“昆明步行训练”,观察两者的协同作用,并评估该治疗方法是否能提高患者的运动功能。The main objective of this study is to have patients with chronic incomplete (AIS B/C/D) spinal cord injuries wear "transcutaneous spinal cord electrical stimulator " and undergo "Kunming locomotor training" for 6 months, observe the synergistic effects of the two, and evaluate whether this treatment method can improve patients' motor functions.
