Here's More...

We have treated about 15 patients with SCI. The results depend on degree of damage of spinal cord. We got improvement in movement function in 5 cases, significant recovering sensitivity in 8 cases, eliminating spasticity in 9 cases, restoration of bowel and bladder function in 7 cases. Every case has peculiarity. We develop individual transplant strategy for every patient.

There are two approach of treatment:

1. Low invasive method. It includes diagnostic spinal angiography, immunosupression, then regional program perfusion for the purposes of pharmacological preparation of the damaged brain for cellular transplantation, subarachnoid (suboccipital, lumbar) transfusion , embryonal stem neuronal cell transplantation, and transcranial magnetic stimulation.

2. Large neurosurgical operation
• Interlaminectomy(or laminectomy) at the injury level.
• Opening dura muter on injury level.
• Radiculomyelolis.
• In case of presence of myelocysts at this level - emptying them .
• Intraoperational neuromyografical analysis of spinal cord conduction .
• Intramedular Schwann/OGE/neuroglial embryonic cell transplantation.
• Plasty of a solid cerebral membranes. (dura mater)
• Transcranial magnetic stimulation

The cost of treatment depends on your treatment program and conditions of your stay in hospital ( it means what kind of room you suit). So the costs (for treatment) vary from $9000 to $50000. A single room costs about $50 per day, double room - about $150, and VIP suit -about 350 $ per day

In order to decide, if your son can be accounted a candidate for our treatment we ask you to carry out padding researches and to send them to our address:
• MRI (3 Months. or Less) , if its impossible we ask you to send the result of CAT Scan (3 Months. or Less ) , made for damage zone.
• Original X-Ray of spine, performed in 2 projection.
• Analysis of blood serum on neurospecific enolase , glial fibrilar acid protein and antibody to it.
• Your Medical Report
• Neuromyographical analysis of spinal cord conduction

Unfortunately, we haven't published in any foreign magazines.

Very interesting information! I would like to see their work get published. Sometimes that doesn't happen even if it should. Hope that this is not one of those situations. Scientists should get credit for the good they are achieving.

"We have treated about 15 patients with SCI. The results depend on degree of damage of spinal cord."

I would think results would also depend on how soon this procedure was done after the initial accident or lesion.
