Changes in Endogenous Carotenoids, Flavonoids, and Phenolics of Drought-Stressed Broccoli Seedlings After Ascorbic Acid Preconditioning.

Spinal Cord Stimulation for Spinal Cord Injury-Related Pain: A Pilot Study.

Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has emerged as an effective treatment for managing chronic pain that is unresponsive to traditional therapies. While SCS is well documented for conditions like failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), its effectiveness in managing pain related to spinal cord injuries (SCI) is less studied. This study aims to assess the efficacy of SCS in alleviating SCI-related pain and improving patients' quality of life, filling a gap in the existing literature.
