Transforming Spinal Cord Injury Care: Insights from Prof. W. S. El Masri

At the upcoming International Conference on Neurology and Neuroscience (March 23–25, 2026 | Singapore & Online), one of the most anticipated sessions will be delivered by Prof. W. S. El Masri from Keele University, United Kingdom. His virtual keynote will explore groundbreaking perspectives on neurological outcomes of acute traumatic spinal cord injuries (TSCI) — emphasizing the success of Active Physiological Conservative Management over surgical interventions.

🌟 Key Discussion Highlights

·         From WWII Lessons to Modern Science:
Prof. El Masri revisits the origins of spinal injury management and the pioneering holistic model introduced by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, which transformed survival and rehabilitation outcomes for patients worldwide.

·         Understanding Neurological Predictability:
He explains the Frankel Classification, showing that neurological recovery and motor improvement can often be predicted within the first two weeks after injury — a major milestone in clinical practice.

·         Rethinking Radiological Correlations:
Contrary to conventional belief, imaging results (X-rays, CT, MRI) often fail to reflect the true neurological condition or recovery potential — a discovery backed by extensive clinical research.

·         Conservative Management Advantage:
Evidence from decades of patient outcomes reveals that non-surgical, physiologically focused care can yield remarkable neurological recovery — provided systemic complications like hypoxia, hypotension, or sepsis are meticulously prevented.

·         A Call for Multidisciplinary Collaboration:
Successful recovery depends not only on medical expertise but also on a coordinated team addressing the physical, psychological, and social challenges faced by patients with spinal cord injuries.

·         Innovative Concepts Introduced by Prof. El Masri:

o    Physiological Instability of the Spinal Cord

o    Time-Related Biomechanical Instability

o    Micro-Instability of the Injured Spine
