Call: 0800 10 757 95
A good personal injury solicitor will be intent on making sure their accident compensation claim client gets the best and most appropriate treatment for their condition and will make sure, especially in the most urgent and catastrophic cases such as brain and spinal injury, that these personal injury victims are able to get their treatment funded by the at-fault party's insurers.
So, it is with interest that personal injury solicitors learn about research into such treatments and therapies so that they may keep abreast of all options available for their clients.
40th annual Society for Neuroscience Conference, Chicago, 2009
At the conference various expert delegates put forward their investigations into many aspects of spinal injury treatment and one that came to the attention of the no win no fee specialists at YouClaim was a study into how the diet of an accident victim with spinal cord damage could potentially affect their recovery and rehabilitation.
It was reported that, in the US, spinal injury patients are usually fed a high calorie diet which consists of high carbohydrate / low fat ingestion (ketogenic diet). However, such diets have never been approved by any professional or medical board in the US. In some instances fasting has been shown to speed the spinal cord injury recovery rate, although this is controversial and is less popular with US health care professionals.
The new research, presented by Dr. Wolfram Tetzlaff from International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries, British Columbia, has revealed in trials on rats that a redesigned ketogenic diet helped to speed the recovery of rats with spinal cord contusions.
After 15 weeks of being fed with the new low carbohydrate / high fat diet around 50% of the rats were using their injured paws 15 times more frequently than injured rats on a control diet. Plus, the special diet group were able to use their forelimbs five times more than the control group.
This was believed to be a significant finding with practical applications for the impact of diet upon humans recovering from spinal damage.
