What should be done for cervical spinal cord injury compressing nerves?
Disease description:
The cervical spine has been uncomfortable for a while. Examination revealed cervical spinal cord injury with nerve compression. What should be done?
Cervical spinal cord injury with nerve compression can be treated through surgery, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and other methods. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be administered within 6 to 8 hours after cervical spinal cord injury. Surgery can help relieve pressure on the spinal cord and maintain good stability. Surgery is indicated when manual reduction following fractures, spinal fractures, or dislocations is unsatisfactory, and imaging studies reveal bone fragments have entered the spinal canal and are compressing the spinal cord.
