Object: The efficacy of olfactory mucosa autograft (OMA) for chronic spinal cord injury has been reported.New activity in response to voluntary effort has been documented by electromyography (EMG), but the emergence of motor evoked potential (MEP) reflecting electrophysiological conductivity in the central nervous system, including the corticospinal pathway, after OMA, and the best indications for OMA, have not been clarified.Here, we report the emergence of MEPs after OMA and offer recommendations for appropriate indications based on the presence of involuntary muscle spasm (IMS).We used analysis of MEP to examine the efficacy of OMA for patients with complete paraplegia due to chronic spinal cord injury.To clarify the indications for OMA, we investigated the association of IMS and efficacy of OMA.
