Cerebrolysin treatment shows improvement of diaphragm function recorded by EMG. a Schematic diagram showing the workflow of experiment. b EMG recording for right (contralateral) and left (ipsilateral) hemi-diaphragm following C2HX. Raw (upper) and ARV (lower) EMG recording from 7 and 21 days CBL treated groups. c Quantification of mean burst area from four groups from right and left diaphragm. d Mean peak-to-peak amplitude of contractions for right and left side diaphragm from four groups. e Mean contraction rate of left hemi-diaphragm per minute. Graphs are presented as Median and interquartile range for c, and mean and ± SD for d and e. CI cervical injury, n = 6–8, one-way ANOVA is used followed with post hoc Tukey test for c and e and Kruskal–Wallis test followed with Dunn’s multiple comparison test for d. ns non-significant, *p value < 0.05. ****p value < 0.0001
