Additional information
This program is designed for patients with spinal cord injury seeking advanced regenerative support to assist neurological recovery and improve quality of life. The treatment utilizes 100 million Umbilical Cord–Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSCs) administered via intrathecal injection, allowing targeted delivery into the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the spinal cord.
The procedure is performed by a neurosurgical team in a hospital operating room setting under sterile conditions, with a 1-night hospital stay for monitoring and post-procedure care.
Potential goals of treatment may include support for sensory and motor function recovery, reduction in spasticity, and improvement in daily function. Patient progress is monitored using the ASIA (American Spinal Injury Association) Impairment Scale, a standardized neurological assessment used internationally for spinal cord injury evaluation.
As every spinal cord injury case is different, treatment suitability, expected response, and recovery potential vary depending on injury severity, duration, overall health, and rehabilitation status. A detailed medical review is required prior to treatment planning.
