摘要:

对于慢性脊髓损伤患者来说,传统的治疗方法主要是康复干预。除此之外,其他治疗主要侧重于脊髓损伤并发症,如尿路感染、压疮、骨质疏松症、血栓形成等。但目前还没有治疗脊髓损伤的有效药物,外科医生也很少对慢性脊髓损伤患者进行手术治疗。因此,迫切需要进一步开发针对慢性脊髓损伤患者的有效疗法。此次随机对照研究纳入慢性胸段脊髓损伤患者30例,比较负重行走训练强化康复治疗与强化康复治疗结合手术干预治疗的效果。该研究于 2016 年 2 月 3 日在 ClinicalTrials.gov 注册(NCT02663310)。结果发现,与只接受负重行走训练的患者相比,接受手术干预结合负重行走训练的患者更脊髓损伤严重程度和痉挛症状减轻,肠道和膀胱功能恢复更快,且具备安全性。因此主张针对慢性 SCI 治疗可考虑手术结合负重行走训练强化康复治疗干预。

Abstract: For patients with chronic spinal cord injury, the conventional treatment is rehabilitation and treatment of spinal cord injury complications such as urinary tract infection, pressure sores, osteoporosis, and deep vein thrombosis. Surgery is rarely performed on spinal cord injury in the chronic phase, and few treatments have been proven effective in chronic spinal cord injury patients. Development of effective therapies for chronic spinal cord injury patients is needed. We conducted a randomized controlled clinical trial in patients with chronic complete thoracic spinal cord injury to compare intensive rehabilitation (weight-bearing walking training) alone with surgical intervention plus intensive rehabilitation. This clinical trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02663310). The goal of surgical intervention was spinal cord detethering, restoration of cerebrospinal fluid flow, and elimination of residual spinal cord compression. We found that surgical intervention plus weight-bearing walking training was associated with a higher incidence of American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale improvement, reduced spasticity, and more rapid bowel and bladder functional recovery than weight-bearing walking training alone. Overall, the surgical procedures and intensive rehabilitation were safe. American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale improvement was more common in T7–T11 injuries than in T2–T6 injuries. Surgery combined with rehabilitation appears to have a role in treatment of chronic spinal cord injury patients.
