May 14, 2019 updated by: Jesús Vaquero Crespo, M.D., Puerta de Hierro University Hospital

Subarachnoid Administrations of Adults Autologous Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Patients Suffering Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

The study goes on 24 months, with recruiting, treatment and follow period for all patients. The first day for each patient will be the first cellular administration. 3 doses will be administrated every 3 months from first dose.

When the clinical trial finishes, it will be done a completed check of all obtained parameters.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

Time Frame: measure before treatment (baseline visit), 6 and 12 months after surgery

Urodynamic studies in terms of Bladder compliance. Bladder compliance is the result of a mathematical calculation of volume responsible for 1 cm H2O pressure rise measured during a cystometric filling

. It gives an indication on how the different mechanisms in the bladder wall react on stretching.

It is obvious that compliance figures can vary widely in groups which makes it difficult to define limits of normality.

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
