Helping patients with spinal cord injuries recover requires a very long and patient process, combining many treatment methods and care skills from relatives, especially the patient's will to overcome difficulties.

Spinal cord injuries are usually classified as complete or incomplete. Incomplete spinal cord injuries are more common, where some signals can still be transmitted, and the patient can still function within a certain range of motion, but this is very difficult to predict. Complete spinal cord injuries are usually caused by an accident that cuts or separates the spinal nerves, completely stopping nerve impulses from traveling through the spinal cord, making it impossible for the patient to move the affected part even slightly.

Brown-Séquard syndrome is a spinal disorder caused by injury to one side of the spinal cord, in which the spinal cord is damaged but not completely severed. Brown-Séquard syndrome is a rare disorder that affects both males and females in equal numbers.

Urinary disorders are a part that greatly affects the quality of life of patients and their families. Urinary disorders also lead to urinary tract infections, kidney failure, and can cause reflex sympathetic disorders (AD attacks) that cause sudden increase in blood pressure, decrease in heart rate, headache, and can lead to stroke in people with lesions from D6 and above. Therefore, controlling urination and urinary care is an important part of caring for patients with spinal cord injuries.

Correct posture for spinal cord injury patients helps to balance the opposing muscle forces in the body that can harm the patient, causing imbalance, increased muscle tone... and at the same time hindering the patient from properly accessing the environment, thereby limiting the patient's remaining abilities. Furthermore, correct posture also helps to prevent and limit or correct complications due to ulcers or stiffness.

Although rare, spinal cord vascular diseases represent a potentially devastating group of conditions that can be challenging to diagnose but rewarding to treat. A keen understanding of when to consider a spinal cord vascular disease, and the treatment options (often requiring a multimodal approach) is essential to achieving optimal patient outcomes.

Spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are the second most common spinal vascular anomalies after dural arteriovenous fistulas, accounting for 15% of all spinal vascular malformations. Typically, the anterior and posterior spinal arteries supply arterial blood to intramedullary or perimedullary aberrant foci or cavities, and then drain into a spinal vein.

Knowledge of the associated conditions, clinical manifestations, and current monitoring techniques may allow for rapid diagnosis of spinal cord ischemia, when therapies can be applied with the greatest likelihood of success. This section will review the clinical manifestations, imaging studies, and treatment options of this potentially devastating spinal cord disorder.

Spinal cord injury treatment is a matter of primary concern. Currently, there is no treatment that can help patients fully recover from spinal cord injuries, but many of us have the right to hope as more and more research is being conducted and bringing positive results related to drugs and surgical options.
