Spinal cord injury is a significant public health issue with high psychological and financial costs to both the family and the society. Effective treatment strategies are hence of immense value. Several reports have suggested application of amniotic membrane for treating injuries, and there is evidence that it may be used to treat spinal injuries. In this animal model study, we explore biochemical changes in amniotic membrane treated injured spinal cord with respect to untreated injured and uninjured spinal cord using Raman spectroscopy. Multivariate statistical analysis is able to classify control, untreated, and treated with 92%, 87%, and 80% efficiency, respectively; suggesting unique biochemical changes in each group. Such studies may lead to development of minimally invasive methodologies for spinal cord injury treatment monitoring. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
