Summary

This study tests whether umbilical cord stem cells (Neuroncell-EX) can improve recovery in people who recently had a moderate to severe stroke. Eighty participants will receive either the stem cells or a placebo, plus standard care. The goal is to see if the treatment helps with daily functioning and reduces disability over one year.
