The Clinical Trial on the Use of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
June 18, 2012 updated by: General Hospital of Chinese Armed Police Forces
The Clinical Study on the Use of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) typically endure a progressive paralysis due to the continued loss of motoneurons that leads them to death in less than 5 years.
No treatment has changed its natural history.
Intrathecal injection of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can secret trophic factors that keep the motorneurons functional.
The investigators have designed a phase I/II clinical trial to check the feasibility of this approach in humans.

Experimental: stem cell transplantation
After stem cell prepared, the patients accepted 4 times stem cell transplantations through lumbar puncture, the time is 3-5days between two treatments.
The patient would have to be in the bed at least 6 hours and removed the pillow.
