About this trial

This trial is recruiting individuals with chronic spinal cord injuries to test the safety of injecting neural stem cells. The stem cells, collected and processed from each participant’s bone marrow, will be injected into the space around the spinal cord. Each participant will be examined before the injection and then monthly for 3 months. Measurements taken at 1 and 2 years after the injection will assess any functional changes in muscle, skin, autonomic control, or pain management. There is no control group for this study; each participant will receive the stem cell injection.

Details

Bone marrow stem cells from the participant will be collected and injected into the space around their spinal cord. The participant will be examined (blood and urine samples, adverse events, physical examination) every month for 3 months. A neurological examination will be performed before the injection of Neuro-Cells, after 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
