Experimental: NeuroRegen Scaffold with BMMCs or MSCs transplantation |
Biological: NeuroRegen scaffold with BMMCs or MSCs transplantation
Patients with chronic SCI (ASIA grade A) will receive NeuroRegen Scaffold with bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation after localized scars cleared and after surgery patients will undergo a comprehensive rehabilitation, psychological and nutritional measures. |
- Safety Evaluation Number of patients with adverse events [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Number of patients with adverse events is as a measure of safety and tolerability after collagen scaffold with MSCs transplantation.
- Improvements in Neurophysiological Measures omatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP) and Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP) monitoring will be assessed [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP) and Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP) monitoring will be assessed before and after transplantation.
- Improvements in ASIA Impairment Scale [ Time Frame: 12 months ]American Spinal Injury Assessment Scale of A, B, C, D or E will be assessed before and after transplantation.
- Improvements in Independence Measures and Quality of Life [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and the Quality of Life Questionnaire (EQ 5D) will be assessed before and after transplantation.
- Improvements in Pain assessed based on Visual analog scale (VAS) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Pain intensity will be assessed based on Visual analog scale (VAS) before and after transplantation.
- Improvements in Urinary and Bowel Function assessed based on bladder pressure monitory before and after transplantation [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The ability to feel and control urination and bowel will be assessed based on bladder pressure monitory before and after transplantation.
- Changes at the Transplantation Site in Spinal Cord by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The MRI at the transplantation site will be assessed before and after transplantation.
