Fat cells to fight paralysis: mayo clinic tests revolutionary stem cell treatment

NCT ID NCT04520373

Summary

This study is testing whether stem cells taken from a patient's own body fat can help improve movement and feeling in people paralyzed by a traumatic spinal cord injury. Doctors inject these specially grown cells into the spinal fluid of 40 adults to see if they are safe and can help restore function. The main goal is to measure changes in the patients' ability to move and feel sensations after the treatment.
