Neurorestoratology is an emerging clinical discipline that intersects with multiple disciplines of neuroscience and medicine.It focuses on the research and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders, injuries, and their sequelae that are severely detrimental to human health and long considered untreatable in conventional medical practice. These include Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, advanced Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, depression, autism spectrum disorder, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, and others.
The goal of this discipline is to repair damaged neural structures and/or functions and enhance the quality of life for affected individuals. Its fundamental theoretical basis is the theory of central nervous system reparability, which integrates scattered, isolated, and unconnected neurorestorative mechanisms into a unified framework. Its therapeutic model combines single neurorestorative techniques into comprehensive neurorestorative treatment regimens. Today, this discipline is shifting the therapeutic paradigm of neurological and psychiatric disorders from symptomatic management to the repair of damaged neural structures and/or functions.
