Spinal Implants for Cord Injury: A Comprehensive Guide
Spinal implants is used for spinal cord injury

Neurosurgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
Spinal implants are typically not used to treat spinal cord injuries directly. Instead, they are more commonly used to stabilize the spine and provide support in cases of spinal fractures, deformities, or degenerative spinal conditions. Treatment for spinal cord injuries often focuses on rehabilitation, oral medication, and supportive care to maximize function and quality of life. However, in some cases where there's spinal instability due to injury, spinal implants may be used as part of surgical intervention to stabilize the spine and prevent further damage.

My uncle met with an accident few days ago . He had a head injury. After few days he had lost his memory and also behaving aggressively
Male | 65
Your uncle may suffer from a disorder known as Post-Traumatic Amnesia (PTA) after an injury to the head. Memory loss and aggressive behavior are pervasive symptoms. It is because the main point gets violated, hence, it can be the cause of behavioral changes. Rest, avoiding stress, and patience are necessary for your uncle's recovery.

Urgent- I am 53 old male with history of restless leg syndrome from approx. 20 years. With time it as become more severe as because I can’t sleep for many nights. By advance diagnosis doc discover i lack in dopamine production. I am having depressing thoughts .. can u give me promising treatment?
Male | 53
No single "promising treatment" will work for everyone with restless leg syndrome. Commonly recommended treatments include medications, lifestyle changes, and physical therapies. Medications and treatments can be prescribed only after a proper diagnosis. Rest you should avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco to reduce the severity of symptoms. Physical therapies such as stretching, massage, and yoga can help relieve muscle tension and improve sleep quality. It is also important to discuss any feelings of depression with your doctor and consider seeking therapy or counseling.

I have severe headache I think it's tmj headache and not bearable.
Female | 23
Severe headaches that feel related to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can be distressing. It's important to consult a dentist or a specialist in oral and maxillofacial medicine for proper evaluation and treatment. They can assess if TMJ dysfunction is causing your headaches and recommend appropriate therapies or referrals for further management.

Inhaling gas, taking alcohol and some drugs can be dangerous especially when coupled with lack of sleep and food. Symptoms such as headache and shivering might mean that your body is stressed. Take a rest, eat well, and keep off harmful substances.

I am a 18 year old female who is experiencing tingling sensation in her back. This has been happening for about 1 and a half years
Female | 18
This feeling may be due to; a nerve in the back being pressed on or even bad posture. When sitting or standing up you are doing so as straight as possible. Gentle back stretches and exercises might help. However, if this feeling doesn’t stop it is always best to talk to a neurologist who can give advice specific to your needs.

Why my muscle above ear started twitching after yawning on just one side? Im eating a lot on that side and maybe I have bruxiszm.
Male | 22
Muscle twitching near the ear could be linked to various factors, such as stress, fatigue, or jaw tension from grinding teeth. It's common for one side to be affected, especially if you've been favoring that side while eating. To alleviate discomfort, practice relaxation techniques, maintain a balanced diet, and consider jaw exercises. Applying warm compresses can also help soothe the area. While these measures may provide relief, I recommend consulting a neurologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment options.

Dear Dr. My 15 year old has been diagnosed with generalized tonic clonic epilepsy. He has done 2 eegs. 1st eeg (done November 23) said it posterior dominant rhythm was 12 hz. The 2nd one (done November 24) said it's posterior dominant rhythm is 9 hz. 1st eeg: bilateral synchronous anterior predominant spikewave epiltiform recorded occuring isolated or 400-600 ms. 2nd eeg: bilateral synchronous anterior predominant spikewave epiltiform recorded at maximal @ FP@,F4,F8,FP1,F3,F7 in 600 ms. Stage II was obtained. Is there improvement between the 2 or has it worsened slightly? The Conclusiofor the 2nd was This was an abnormal awake, drowsy and stage II sleep electroencephalogram. Bilateral synchronous anteriorly predominant spike-wave epileptiform discharges were recorded as described above. In the correct clinical setting, these findings are suggestive of a genetic generalized epilepsy with the differential diagnosis of a frontal focus with rapid secondary bilateral synchrony. Is the conclusion serious?
Male | 15
Dear Parent, Thank you for your inquiry. The EEG results show some epileptiform activity that is ongoing, which can be of great concern. The change from a 12 Hz to a 9 Hz rhythm and being assured of the findings suggests that although there is some activity, it does not necessarily represent a change of the situation; rather, it may just indicate differences in the EEG readings. The summary implies that the patient may have a genetically generalized epilepsy that is treatable with continuous medical care. Please, I advise you to analyze the mentioned details with your doctor in order to have the necessary treatment and your child's support get quality. Best wishes, [Your Name]

Patient faints frequently due to low blood pressure. Tests have been done to see the cause but they come back negative. What could be the other cause and remedy
Male | 19
Frequent fainting due to low blood pressure can be concerning, especially when tests are inconclusive. Possible causes may include dehydration, medication side effects, or certain medical conditions affecting blood flow. Symptoms can include dizziness, lightheadedness, or fatigue. To address this issue, ensure proper hydration, consider dietary changes for more salt intake (under a doctor's guidance), and monitor fluid consumption. Regularly standing up slowly may help. It’s essential to consult a neurologist for personalized advice and to explore further testing or treatment options tailored to your needs.

Male | 53
You can continue medicine as prescribed by your doctor but not to rely on just that. Mostly, surgery happens to be the commonest method to treat this life threatening condition. I suggest to get a second opinion from another neurosurgeon and discuss your case to get specific treatment advice for your situation.

Any new bumps should always be checked out by a doctor, but if they are accompanied with symptoms such as headache and fatigue, then you need to go immediately. I suggest that you consult a neurologist to exclude any conditions associated with these functions.

Hello! I am 30 years old and i have vertigo around 2 years now. Always coming and goes but is back again after a month or two. When it comes i might have some attacks for a week or so. Now i had 9 vertigo's in 2 weeks and the last one just made me feel horrible. I have a headache and cant hear very well from both ears. I have noticed when i have sex with my partner after i finish i get vertigo 3 out of 10 times. I had made lots of check ups also gone to two doctors for my ears and also neurology and orthopedic saw my check ups and said they are fine. I dont know what else to do in order to stop it.
Male | 30
Those problems can be caused by numerous reasons that may include the inner ear, the vestibular system, or even stress. The good news is that previous investigations were negative for any significant underlying causes. Try keeping a symptom journal that will assist you in figuring out possible triggers. Besides, balance exercises and stress-reduction techniques might help. I suggest that you should consult a neurologist about various diagnostic options and treatments that suit your case the most.

There is a lot of pain at night. It feels like the vein in the forehead will burst and the body jerks repeatedly.
Male | 17
You may be having a cluster headache. It may be accompanied by a jolt of the body. Stress, alcohol consumption, and intense smells can serve as irritants. To counter these conditions, use relaxation methods, do not expose yourself to triggers, and consult a neurologist for further advice and support.

I have headache continuously. In my report of MRI it shows that I have preventricular cyst in my head Medicine is going on but I have headache What should I do
Female | 15
You may be suffering from a ventricular cyst, which is located near the brain. It is a fluid-filled sac near the brain. The reason that it causes headaches is often due to being under pressure. Adding to this, receiving regular medication, I recommend also not to forget being well-hydrated and staying stress-free. Were the pain to continue being severe or getting worse, you should report the headache to your neurologist for a new assessment and even alterations to the medications prescribed.
