Spinal cord injuries are disabling and
irreversible events. Numerous are the researches
developed in order to promote the reduction of the
harmful effects and the spinal cord regeneration.
However, this still remains a challenge to science and
medicine. The present work consists of a case study
whose main objective is to verify the effect of controlled
magnetoelectrotherapy on nervous tissue regeneration at
the central level and the possible recovery of some
degree of function of the patient with paraglegia or
tetraplegia due to spinal cord injury. Possible benefits
that could be obtained through the application of high
voltage pulsed currents would be: the use of new nerve
pathways, intact; the formation of pores in the glial scar
and in the neural membranes that surround the site of
the lesion, and through them the ions could move ; and
the transmission of substances from the cells, including
those of the protoplasmic astrocytes to stem cells present
in the medulla. The magnets would assist in changing the
direction of the moving ions, potentiating the applied
electrical pulses.
