1.Application Progress of Virtual Reality Technology for the Treatment of Spinal Cord Injury
Journal of Sun Yat-sen University(Medical Sciences) 2025;46(3):391-400
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a prevalent neurological disorder that often results in motor, sensory, cognitive, balance, and walking impairments, and can even lead to pain, significantly affecting the physical and mental health and quality of life of patients. Conventional treatment methods, primarily conducted in hospital settings, tend to be monotonous and lack engagement, leading to low patients’ compliance, motivation and cooperation. In contrast, virtual reality (VR) technology can serve as an effective adjunctive therapeutic approach, immersing patients in simulated virtual environments for functional training in specific contexts and tasks, thereby providing a sense of real experience to achieve assessment and therapeutic outcomes. The interactive and engaging nature of VR technology markedly enhances patients’ interest and motivation in treatment, offering new possibilities for home-based rehabilitation and presenting patients with alternative treatment options. This review systematically introduces the application of VR technology in the treatment of patients with SCI, focusing on its roles in assessing functional impairments, improving motor function, enhancing balance and walking abilities, alleviating pain, and promoting recovery from cognitive and psychological disorders, as well as its impact on other functional impairments and its combined use with other technologies. Furthermore, this article delves into the current advantages and limitations of VR technology, aiming to deepen the understanding of VR among physicians and therapists, promote its widespread clinical application, advance the field of rehabilitation medicine, provide theoretical foundations and directions for future research, and offer new insights and references for clinical practice.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
