Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a debilitating health condition affecting millions of people across the globe. The disease causes permanent disabilities and low life expectancy. SCI can disrupt and maul the function and anatomy of the spinal cord. The effects of SCI can be both permanent and temporary. The damage causes loss of muscle functionalities and sensation below the injured area. This could result in paralysis, in the form of paraplegia, tetraplegia, and quadriplegia.

Spinal Cord Injury treatment is provided through rehabilitation programs like Occupational therapy and Speech Therapy, and also through Surgery and Medications. But, these measures cannot treat the root cause of SCI. None of these treatment measures can restore the lost normal neural tissue functionality, which is very important for complete recovery.

NeuroGen Brain and Spine Research Institute, located in Mumbai, Maharashtra, offers stem cell therapy for SCI. Stem cell transplantation offers multiple benefits for the SCI sufferers. The stem cells derived from bone marrow are injected into the bodies of patients suffering from SCI. Once transplanted, stem cells can replace the older and damaged neurons, and re-establish the lost or impaired axonal connections that are vital for carrying nerve impulses in the body. Stem cells also secrete trophic, growth and Neuroprotective factors that provide for faster healing and recovery, and create a better and a healthier inner cellular environment.

Developed countries have 25.5 million cases of SCI every year. More than 1.5 million people in India suffer from SCI, to which 10,000 new cases are added every year. Apart from motor accidents, SCI can also be caused by violence, games, and certain other diseases like osteoporosis and cancer. NeuroGen’s stem cell therapy and treatment in India will bring greater relief to patients with SCI, and will improve their quality of life in multiple ways.

Talking to media men at a press conference in Mumbai, the PRO of the institution said “ We have the most advanced stem cell lab, state-of-the-art operation theater, stay accommodations, cafeteria and a comprehensive facility for providing stem cell treatment to SCI and other neurological disorder patients. Apart from offering best-in-class treatment through stem cell therapy and rehabilitation program, our expert healthcare practitioners also participate in research, so that the incurable diseases could be completely treated, in very near future”.
