USE OF CHONDROITINASE ABC ENZYME FOR THE TREATMENT OF CNS INJURIES

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method of improving functional recoveryfollowing a central nervous system contusion injury. The method includesadministering a therapeutically effective amount of glycosaminoglycandegrading enzyme. The glycosaminoglycan degrading enzyme may be dermatansulfate or chondroitin sulfate degrading enzymes. The central nervous systemcontusion injury may include a traumatic brain injury or a spinal cord injury.The functional recovery may include autonomic functions, sensory functions,motor functions or the like.
