as blood pressure and temperature regulation are the Sympathetic and
Parasympathetic Nervous Systems.

5. What are the Effects of a Spinal Cord Injury?
The effects of SCI depend on the type of injury and the level of the injury.
SCI can be divided into two types of injury –
1. Complete Injury
2. Incomplete Injury
A Complete Injury
A complete injury means that there is no function below the level of the
injury; no sensation and no voluntary movement. Both sides of the body
are equally affected.

6. An Incomplete Injury
An incomplete injury means that there is some functioning below the
primary level of the injury. A person with an incomplete injury may be
able to move one limb more than another, may be able to feel parts of
the body that cannot be moved, or may have more functioning on one
side of the body than the other. With the advances in acute treatment of
SCI, incomplete injuries are becoming more common.

7. Treatments to Spinal Cord Injury
A. Medications: Methylprednisolone renders itself a
treatment option for an acute spinal cord injury. If
methylprednisolone is given within eight hours of
injury, some people experience for the mild
improvement. Also it appears to work by decreasing
damage to nerve cells and lessening inflammation
near the site of injury.
B. Surgery: The surgery is necessary to remove the
fragments of bones, foreign objects, herniated disks
or fractured vertebrae that seem to be compressing
the spine. Also the surgery may be needed to stabilize
the spine to put off the future pain.
