Abstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes chronic pain in 60% of individuals. Plasticity after SCI within the rostral, epicenter, and caudal penumbra initiate a cellular-molecular interplay, which has been proposed as a re-wiring mechanism leading to central neuropathic pain (CNP). The initial trauma triggers harmful, pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory, mechanisms among other cellular events. To treat SCI, we must identify a multifactorial agent that can influence the immediate and long-term consequences of trauma.
