Sharma, Dafin Muresanu, Alok Sharma, Wagih El Masry, The International Association of Neurorestoratology and The Chinese Association of NeurorestoratologyAbstractFunctional restoration following spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most challenging tasks in neurological clinical practice. With a view to exploring effective neurorestorative methods in the acute, subacute, and chronic phases of SCI, “Clinical Therapeutic Guidelines of Neurorestoration for Spinal Cord Injury (China version 2016)” was firstly proposed in 2016 by the Chinese Association of Neurorestoratology (CANR). Given the rapid advance of this field in recent years, the International Association of Neurorestoratology (IANR) and CANR formed and approved the “Clinical Neurorestorative Therapeutic Guidelines for Spinal Cord Injury (IANR/CANR version 2019)”. These guidelines mainly introduce restoring damaged neurological structure and functions by varying neurorestorative strategies in acute, subacute, and chronic phases of SCI. These guidelines can provide a neurorestorative therapeutic standard or reference for clinicians and researchers in the clinical practice to maximally restore functions of patients with SCI and improve their qua...
