If I'm not mistaken, those drugs are not something your team medic would be hauling around in his aid bag, but rather are held at hospital-level facilities for use in a stabilized (relative term there) environment. FWIW, I know for sure Methylprednisolone has been around and used for immediate treatment for SCI since at least 1997, so these aren't necessarily new wonder drugs, nor have they been proven to do much good. Like SwatSurg said, the real advances lie in the fields of tissue implantation/replacement, and the very complex chemical soup (growth inhibitors, growth facilitators, calcium control) that controls regeneration and repair in the CNS.
