Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Stem cell
autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation
Biological: Autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation
Bone marrow is aspirated by a standard procedure. Mononuclear cells are separated by density gradient method and then injected intrathecally by a standard lumbar puncture procedure
No Intervention: Control
Stem cell therapy is not done for this group of spinal cord injury patients

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Change in clinical symptoms of spinal cord injury after 6 months
Time Frame: 6 months
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Functional independence measure (FIM)
Time Frame: 6 months
It is a standard objective scale used for functional evaluation of the spinal cord injury patients. Its reliability and validity has been well established. It will be marked by a certified occupational therapy expert before the intervention and 6 months after the intervention.
