Abstract:

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a highly debilitating central nervous system disease that usually results in loss of movement, sensation, and excretory function below the injured segment of the patient. However, there is currently no effective treatment in clinical practice to reconstruct damaged neurological function in patients. Through experimental research, Chinese herbal extracts can be used as an important complementary treatment to improve the neurological function and reconstruction after spinal cord injury. However, the systematic analysis involving this field is still rare. Therefore, this paper gives a comprehensive review of the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine extracts in the treatment of spinal cord injury in recent years.

Key words: spinal cord injury repair, traditional Chinese medicine extract, oxidative stress, inflammatory response
