Stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury

Stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury involves using specialized cells called stem cells to potentially repair or replace damaged nerve tissue in the spinal cord. These stem cells can develop into nerve cells and help reduce inflammation, promote healing, and support nerve regeneration. Although research is ongoing, some patients have experienced improvements in function and sensation. It’s a promising area of medicine, but it’s still experimental, and outcomes can vary. The goal is to tap into the body’s ability to heal itself and improve quality of life for those with spinal cord injuries.
