Autologous Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury in India

Autologous stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury (SCI) is a new treatment being offered for spinal cord injury that uses the patient’s own stem cells to help heal damaged spinal cord tissue. SCI, which may occur due to trauma, an illness, or injury to the spine, compromises the spinal cord and nerves that may result in dysfunction, sensation deficits, mobility limitations, and/or loss of function below the level of injury. Autologous stem cell therapy seeks to repair injury to the spinal cord tissue while reducing inflammation and by promoting tissue regeneration, which in turn may restore loss of function.
