Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a kind of severe disease with high morbidity and complications. At present, electroacupuncture has certain advantages in treating motor sensory dysfunction, neuropathologic pain, neurogenic bladder and intestinal dysfunction after spinal cord injury. However, previous clinical studies of acupuncture neglected the brain, which is closely related to the structure and function of spinal cord.So,the aim of this study is to observe and analyse the impact of the changes of gray and white matter volume on whole brain and brain functional re-establish,to reveal the neuroimaging mechanism of improving the motor sensory functions of patients with spinal cord injury, and to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of electroacupuncture.
