Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Spinal Cord Injury treatments at Raj Hospital

What is the critical 'Golden Hour' in spinal injuries?

The first few hours after severe trauma are vital. If a spinal injury is suspected, do not move the person unnecessarily and call 108. Keeping the spine immobilised and getting rapid specialist care can help limit secondary damage to the spinal cord and improve the chances of recovery.

Is complete paralysis always permanent?

In a complete spinal cord injury, recovery below the level of injury is usually very limited. People with incomplete injuries often regain some function with rehabilitation over months, although the extent varies from person to person.

What comprises dedicated SCI rehabilitation?

It consistently includes daily rigorous active physical therapies safely targeting core muscle strength, robust joint flexibility, and adaptive strategies for managing optimal long-term independence.

Can stem cell therapy completely cure severe SCI?

Currently, stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury remains experimental and is not an approved standard treatment; it should only be considered within a regulated clinical trial.

How does SCI impact bladder control?

Spinal injuries consistently disrupt the essential communication between the brain and the bladder, requiring specific urological management.
