SCI Patients Discuss Stem Cell Improvements

People with incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries make up one of the largest groups receiving donated umbilical cord blood and cord transplants. What are the outcomes of their treatments? In this video we've collected 8 patients' improvements together. Each injury is different and each person's road to recovery is different. But we hope this video can help people better understand the opportunity the treatments may provide. This video has English subtitles.

About this data

Patients self-assess each symptom on a 5-point scale (Worse / No improvement / Small / Moderate / Significant) at follow-up checkpoints after treatment, comparing to their pre-treatment baseline. "Reported improvement" combines the small, moderate and significant buckets. Data is updated daily from our internal patient registry. As with any medical treatment, past results do not guarantee future outcomes — improvements vary from patient to patient.
