Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most common and
devastating injuries found in the neurological clinic [1,2]. It is
defined as damage to the spinal cord that causes temporary
or permanent changes in its function, resulting in significant
neurological dysfunction and disability [3,4]. SCI has physical, social
and occupational consequences for patients and their families,
resulting in loss of independence and an increase in the mortality
rate [3]. In addition, studies show that expenses for care of patients
with SCI can reach US$1.1-4.6 million per patient throughout life.
Thus, it is extremely important to develop effective treatments [5].
