Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Patients with spinal shock typically experience symptoms such as loss of consciousness and cold sweats. Spinal shock may lead to impaired consciousness; in milder cases, it can cause numbness in the fingers and cold sweats. Spinal shock is usually caused by trauma or spinal cord injury, generally resulting from external forces. Patients may take neurotrophic medications, such as Neurotropin, as directed by a physician to help improve symptoms.
