Abstract: BACKGROUND: The nervous system is highly protected by the blood-brain barrier and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier and the development and administration of neurorestorative drugs are still challenging. Therefore, the clinical therapeutic effects of most drugs are limited. Direct administration to the nervous system through the cerebrospinal fluid route is also an important clinical treatment strategy, but there is currently no unified clinical application standard.
OBJECTIVE: To explain the current status of cerebrospinal fluid administration and the indications, specific methods and precautions in clinical practice, thereby popularizing the application and improving the clinical efficacy.
METHODS: The Expert Committee of Neurorestoratology of Beijing Medical Doctor Association and the Professional Branch of Neurorestoratology of Guangdong Medical Doctor Association organized and compiled this expert consensus by organizing relevant expert seminars from various disciplines across the country.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Direct administration to the nervous system through the cerebrospinal fluid route for neurorestorative therapy has a wide range of clinical indications and application prospects. However, attention should be paid to the safety and efficiency of cerebrospinal fluid administration, the combination of compound formulations, the maximum tolerated dose and full informed consent during the application process.

Key words: cerebrospinal fluid route, nerve repair, blood-brain barrier, neurotrophy, nervous system disease
