Reason for Coming for Treatment
For the chance to regain any function possible esp. bowel and bladder
Condition Prior to Coming for Treatment
Prior to treatment I was three years post-injury. My injury was assesed as L1 ASIA A incomplete. My motor function was classed L2 and sensory level at L3. I had no bladder or bowel function/ control. I had no movement below the knees, and significant weakness and paralysis in glutes, hamstrings, hips and abductor muscles. I had normal strength and sensation in knees, quads, adductors, abdominal and back muscles. I had no sensation besides pressure below the knees and at the backs of my legs and my buttocks. I had limited sweat function in lower limbs. I could walk with the aid of two walking sticks and two ankle-foot orthosis (AFOs). I did physiotherapy three times per week.
Experience During Treatment
I had 8 stem-cell injections: the first via IV, and the remaining 7 via lumbar puncture (6 injections were umbilical cord blood stem-cells and two were from my own bone-marrow). Every day (except for weekends) I did two sessions of physiotherapy, one session of acupuncture, and one session of electric-wave therapy.
Condition Following Treatment
While still in hospital I regained some movement in my left ankle and toes (plantar and dorsi-flexion) and regained about 4cm normal sensation below my left knee, and about 2.5cm of normal sensation below the knee on my right. On returning home I have noticed a significant decrease in lower limb spasticity and have been able to stop taking baclofen I have also regained normal sweat function in lower limbs.

来华治疗原因
希望得到病情改善,比如控制排便与排尿
治疗前的情况
患者在3年前受伤,之后丧失了控制排便与排尿的功能。膝部以下无自主活动能力,小腿后部,跟腱,外展肌均软弱无力。同时下肢排汗功能障碍。
在我中心接受干细胞治疗
患者在我中心接收了8次干细胞移植治疗:第一次通过静脉,其余均为通过腰穿途径。同时每天接受康复理疗治疗,包括2次物理康复训练、一次针灸和一次神经电治疗。
治疗后情况
接受治疗后,在院期间患者就已感到左侧踝部与拇趾有部分自主控制能力。同时膝部以下有了感觉,分别是左膝部以下4cm和右膝部以下2.5cm。
出院回国后,患者发现下肢的强直状态有了明显的改善,而且了有正常的排汗功能。
