Central Pain Syndrome
By Bill Mancini
Central pain syndrome is a neurological
disorder caused due to damage to central nervous system which
includes the brain, brain stem, thalamus and spinal cord.
Central pain syndrome occurs due to injury to central nervous system caused
due to stroke multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Parkinson’s
disease, tumours and trauma to brain or spinal cord.
Central pain syndrome usually begins soon after the injury but sometimes
it may develop after a long time, may be years especially if the damage is due to stroke.
Adjusting to a New Spinal Cord Injury
By Dr. Susan Fagan
Adjusting to spinal cord injury is a difficult and continuous process.
Individuals who are newly injured will likely experience
grief. This is period of mourning that is similar to that
following the death of a loved one. The difference is that you
are grieving the loss of your sense of touch along with your
ability to walk or use your hands.
It is not uncommon for you to experience many different thoughts and
feelings after injury. There is no step-by-step grieving process, but
some thoughts and feelings are common after injury.
