View Full Paper
SKSierra D. KauerYale UniversityPEPhilip R. EffraimYale New Haven HospitalLBLakshmi BangaloreYale University

Key Points

  • Pain and spasticity are linked to structural changes in dendritic spines.
  • In spinal cord injury, altered spine morphology influences pain pathways.
  • Observational analysis highlights potential neurobiological mechanisms.
  • Research suggests targeting dendritic spine integrity may improve outcomes.
