Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) often result in devastating and long-lasting consequences, impacting not only motor functions but also sensory and autonomic functions. Traditionally, the focus of rehabilitation has been on the spinal cord itself and its potential for recovery. However, emerging research suggests that the brain also plays a crucial role in the recovery process through mechanisms known as brain plasticity. This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze existing literature on brain plasticity in patients with spinal cord injuries, exploring the underlying mechanisms, its implications for recovery, and potential therapeutic interventions. Through a meticulous search of databases and screening processes, relevant studies were identified and critically analyzed. The review sheds light on the multifaceted nature of brain plasticity in SCI patients, highlighting its potential as a target for innovative rehabilitation strategies and emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in optimizing recovery outcomes.
