Chronic Spinal Cord Injury: Understanding

Chronic Spinal Cord Injury: Overview

Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) refers to the long-term consequences of damage to the spinal cord that persists for at least one year following the initial injury. This condition often results in significant neurological deficits, affecting motor, sensory, and autonomic functions, which can lead to severe impairments in daily living activities and overall quality of life. Rehabilitation and management strategies are crucial for improving functional outcomes and mitigating secondary complications associated with chronic SCI. Chronic spinal cord injuries (SCI) lead to various symptoms that significantly affect quality of life. Pain, including musculoskeletal and neurogenic pain, is common, often presenting as burning or stinging sensations. Many individuals experience bowel and bladder dysfunction, requiring catheters or special diets for management. Muscle spasticity, characterized by stiffness and involuntary contractions, and gait disturbances, including difficulty walking, are also frequent. Additional complications like cardiovascular dysautonomia, and changes in sexual function are also seen.

Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) involves both primary and secondary injury mechanisms that contribute to lasting neurological deficits. The primary injury directly damages neurons and glial cells, leading to cell membrane disruption and triggering secondary processes. These include excitotoxicity from excessive glutamate, oxidative stress, and inflammation, all of which worsen tissue damage. This cascade results in ischemia, edema, and necrosis, further compromising the spinal cord's structure. Over time, glial scar formation and cystic cavities prevent axonal regeneration and remyelination, leading to permanent functional impairments and the chronic nature of the injury.

The diagnosis of chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) involves a detailed evaluation to assess neurological impairment and identify any progressive damage. It begins with a thorough medical history and physical exam, focusing on motor function, sensory perception, and reflexes. Imaging studies, such as MRI and CT scans, are crucial for detecting structural abnormalities or lesions in the spinal cord. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale is then used to classify the injury's severity, ranging from complete loss of function (ASIA A) to normal function (ASIA E) below the injury level. Treatment for chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) focuses on symptom management, improving functional independence, and preventing complications. A multidisciplinary approach is key, with rehabilitation therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy tailored to the individual’s needs. Pharmacological treatments include pain management (NSAIDs, anticonvulsants), muscle relaxants for spasticity, and antidepressants for psychological issues. In some cases, surgical interventions may be required to relieve pressure or stabilize the spine. Ongoing care addresses secondary complications like bladder/bowel dysfunction, pressure sores, and respiratory issues. Adaptive devices and regular follow-ups enhance mobility and overall quality of life.

Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Chronic Spinal Cord Injury report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, II/III I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Emerging Drugs

• OPC1: Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc

OPC1 is a regenerative cell therapy developed by Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. It consists of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) derived from pluripotent stem cells. OPC1 is designed for the treatment of spinal cord injuries (SCI), particularly in cases of cervical SCI. By promoting remyelination of damaged neurons, secreting neurotrophic factors, and reducing inflammation, OPC1 aims to restore motor function and sensory capabilities. It has shown promise in early-stage clinical trials for improving neurological recovery. Currently the drug is in Phase II of its development for the treatment of Chronic Spinal Cord Injury.

• NVG-291: NervGen Pharma

NVG-291, is an inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma and has the potential as a therapeutic for diseases where there is nerve damage, either as a result of injury, neurodegenerative disease, or other causes. PTPσ inhibition has been evaluated preclinically in models of spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, myocardial ischemia, stroke and other diseases using NVG-291-R. NVG-291-R is a close analog to NVG-291 and works via the same target. In the literature, NVG-291-R is commonly referred to as intracellular signaling peptide, or ISP. Currently, the drug is in the Phase I/II stage of its development for the treatment of Chronic Spinal Cord Injury.
