No patient outcomes are reported.
This perspective article proposes combining regenerative therapies with neuromodulation and targeted rehabilitation after cervical spinal cord injury. It cannot guide clinical practice.
What this paper is
This is a perspective article about combining regenerative medicine, neuromodulation, and targeted rehabilitation for upper extremity recovery after cervical spinal cord injury. It discusses current approaches, ongoing trials, and preclinical findings, but it reports no original patient methods or outcomes. There is no finding here to change practice.
