[Evaluation of the efficacy of using regional cooling of the spinal cord in complicated spinal injury].
In 48 patients with complications after the spinal column trauma the local spinal cord cooling has been performed postoperatively. The positive results were: increased pulse blood flow to the spinal cord, reduction of the alpha-motor units excitability, and pain relief.
