Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Recent medical research into the repair of spinal cords in rats and human trials using nerve grafts are most likely to lead to procedures that can reverse conditions requiring confinement to a wheelchair, as spinal cord injuries are the leading cause of paralysis and mobility impairments. It is unlikely that this research will lead to a cure for multiple sclerosis or a reduction in back pain, as these are separate medical conditions that involve different areas of the body. Additionally, the research is specific to spinal cord injuries and is unlikely to impact brain damage caused by excessive alcohol consumption.
