Spinal cord injury

Spinal cord injury is damage to the structure and function of the spinal cord caused by external direct or indirect factors. As a core component of the central nervous system, the spinal cord serves as the neural pathway connecting the brain to the rest of the body, responsible for transmitting important sensory and motor information. Therefore, spinal cord injury often leads to varying degrees of impairment in motor function, sensation, reflexes, and sphincter function below the level of injury, significantly affecting the patient's quality of life and independence. Spinal cord injury not only brings limitations to physical function but may also have a profound impact on the patient's psychological and emotional well-being.

Therefore, in your treatment process, Langyue Medical not only provides scientifically precise medical interventions but also places a strong emphasis on the comprehensive rehabilitation of the patient. While delivering professional treatment, we strive to create a rehabilitative environment that combines care and support, helping you restore the confidence to live independently.

Stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury

Stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury represents a pioneering approach that harnesses the regenerative properties of stem cells to facilitate the repair of damaged spinal cord tissue. Below is a detailed overview of the therapeutic principles and the potential benefits for patients:           

Therapeutic Principles
Differentiation and Replacement: Stem cells possess remarkable multi-directional differentiation potential. For example, neural stem cells can differentiate into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes, thereby replacing damaged spinal cord cells and reconstructing neural pathways to restore lost function.
Secretion of Neurotrophic Factors: Mesenchymal stem cells and other types of stem cells secrete various neurotrophic factors, including nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These factors play a crucial role in promoting the survival, growth, and differentiation of nerve cells. Additionally, they enhance the local spinal cord microenvironment, providing optimal conditions for nerve regeneration and functional recovery.
Immunomodulation: Spinal cord injury triggers an inflammatory immune response at the injury site. Excessive inflammation exacerbates neuronal damage. Mesenchymal stem cells can modulate the immune response by inhibiting the infiltration of inflammatory cells and reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This helps to alleviate inflammation, protect healthy nerve tissue, and promote overall healing.
Our Advantages
Innovative Cell Implantation Technology Leading Minimally Invasive Treatments
As a pioneer in the field, we were the first to introduce CT-guided cell implantation therapy for spinal cord injuries. Leveraging the precision of CT imaging, the procedure is minimally invasive, time-efficient, painless, and ensures a swift post-operative recovery. Treatment effects appear quickly, significantly easing both physical and emotional burdens for patients.
Breakthrough in Interventional Therapy to Improve the Spinal Cord Microenvironment
We have pioneered a vascular interventional approach that delivers cells directly into the arteries supplying the injured spinal cord. This method rapidly enhances blood circulation at the injury site, providing vital nutrients to support the repair and regeneration of damaged tissue.
Extended Treatment Timeline Covering the Full Rehabilitation Process
Unlike conventional treatment models, we focus not only on recovery during the rehabilitation phase but also lead the way in treating patients during the acute phase of spinal cord injury—maximizing the golden window for therapy. Even for patients with injuries dating back as far as 20 years, our advanced techniques deliver remarkable therapeutic results, breaking through traditional time constraints.
Integrated Multi-Modal Delivery for Precision Treatment
Our flexible and comprehensive cell delivery system includes intravenous infusion, lumbar puncture, CT-guided implantation, vascular intervention, cranial targeting, and acupuncture-point injections. By tailoring combinations of these methods to individual patient needs and disease progression, we deliver highly personalized and effective treatments that maximize therapeutic outcomes.
Holistic Health Focus to Tackle Complex Challenges
Beyond improving neurological function, we address complications commonly associated with spinal cord injuries—such as pressure sores and myositis ossificans—through targeted therapies. Our comprehensive treatment approach helps patients overcome various challenges and significantly enhances their overall quality of life.
Key Improvements Noted in Patients
Increased Muscle Strength: Enhanced motor function and strength in muscles below the injury level, leading to greater movement ability compared to pre-treatment status.
Improved Sensory Function: Reduction in sensory deficits and improved perception of touch, temperature, and pain.
Muscle Regeneration: Significant increase in the size and strength of atrophied muscles, improving limb strength and mobility.
Reduced Muscle Spasms: Decrease in spasticity and abnormal muscle tension, leading to more relaxed muscles and better comfort.
Neuropathic Pain Relief: Significant reduction in neuropathic pain, leading to improved overall well-being.
Improvement in Bowel and Bladder Function: Restoration of some degree of bowel and bladder control in patients with sphincter dysfunction, leading to more normal and manageable urination and bowel movements.
Recovery from Postural Hypotension: Improvement in postural hypotension, particularly in high-level spinal cord injury patients, resulting in stabilized blood pressure and more normal body temperature regulation.
Enhanced Motor Flexibility: Increased flexibility and motor abilities, improving overall physical function and independence.

Our approach is centered around providing not just scientific and innovative treatment but also a compassionate and patient-centered environment, guiding you through each phase of your recovery. By combining advanced stem cell technologies with personalized care, we aim to help restore function and improve the quality of life for spinal cord injury patients, while providing the support needed for emotional and physical rehabilitation
