Nanomaterials have been utilized for the drug delivery in the central nervous system (CNS), and many research investigators are currently focussing on this specified area. There has been a lot of advancement in the nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery to the brain. Neuronal injuries including spinal cord injury (SCI) and their targeted therapies are still in its infancy on this planet. SCI has been known to cause axonal damage followed by the loss of communication between CNS and other non-neuronal systems. SCI has been critically associated with prolonged inflammation, sensory dysfunction, and motor impairment in SCI patients. There has been a critical crosstalk in SCI and blood brain barriers (BBBs) for drug absorption and distribution in patients. There is a paucity of possible therapies for proper intervention of SCI due to selective permeability of the drugs across BBB. Nanomaterials are contemplated in the drug delivery system for SCI. In addition, self-assembled nanomicelles, lipid nanoparticles, and other co-polymers have now been explored for neuronal injuries. This review focuses on the promising approach and/or role of nanodrug delivery to target SCI in both in vitro and in vivo models.
