431 top medical experts on Transverse Myelitis across 61 countries and 30 U.S. states, including 281 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Transverse Myelitis: Inflammation of a transverse portion of the spinal cord characterized by acute or subacute segmental demyelination or necrosis. The condition may occur sporadically, follow an infection or vaccination, or present as a paraneoplastic syndrome (see also encephalomyelitis, acute disseminated). Clinical manifestations include motor weakness, sensory loss, and incontinence. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1242-6)
  2. Clinical guidelines are the recommended starting point to understand initial steps and current protocols in any disease or procedure:
  3. Broader Categories (#Experts): CNS Demyelinating Autoimmune Diseases (1,416), Myelitis (2,701), Nervous System Paraneoplastic Syndromes (1,359) and Narrower Categories: Neuromyelitis Optica (2,311).
  4. Clinical Trials ClinicalTrials.gov : at least 19 including 1 Active, 8 Completed, 6 Recruiting
