Journal of Neurosurgery Supplement Explores Cutting-Edge Therapies for Spinal Cord Injuries

The Journal of Neurosurgery (JNS) Publishing Group has announced publication of the North American Clinical Trials Network (NACTN)/AOSpine North America (AOSNA) Focus Issue on Spinal Cord Injury, a supplement to the September issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine. Sponsored by AOSNA, the supplement is available in print and online, with the latter version being free to the public at https://thejns.org/toc/spisup/17/1.

The focus of this special supplement — which was spearheaded by Michael Fehlings, MD, PhD, FAANS, professor of neurosurgery at the University of Toronto and medical director of the Krembil Neuroscience Centre at the Toronto Western Hospital — is the development of cutting-edge translational research in the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). SCI is an often-devastating injury that affects 2.5 million people worldwide, many of whom are first faced with it in early adulthood. The topic is addressed in a variety of forms in 17 articles and several editorials. For more information, click here to read the full article.
