Abstract
Spinal cord injury can lead to varied degrees of sensory and motor dysfunction, with high incidence, high disability rate and high cost, causing a huge burden on the patient's family and society. The researches on spinal cord injury have received much attention from all sectors of society. At present, drug therapy is the main treatment for spinal cord injury, and the clinical application of non-pharmacological treatments is still controversial. In recent years, with the deepening of the research on spinal cord injury, the application of electrical stimulation in the treatment of spinal cord injury has made some progress. The author reviews the electrical stimulation, brain stimulation, magnetic stimulation of spinal cord injury, so as to provide reference for the clinical treatment of spinal cord injury.
Key words:
