“Every small step taken by a patient is a giant step in cell therapy!” Utilizing mesenchymal stem cell therapy to successfully achieve the restoration of lower limb sensory perception

According to statistics from FSCI R.O.C., there are nearly 30,000 spinal cord injury patients in Taiwan, with an average age of only 27. Dr. Tsung-Lang Chiu, Director of Neurosurgery at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, expressed that in addition to traditional rehabilitation methods, cellular therapy for spinal cord injuries can significantly enhance the success of treatment!

Mr. Chien, who had previously suffered a spinal cord injury, had lost all sensation in his lower limbs. However, after undergoing the “Autologous Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury” procedure at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital in collaboration with cutting-edge medicine and actively engaging in rehabilitation, his previously numb lower limbs gradually regained sensation. Astonishingly, he can now hold on to an assistive devices and take slow steps forward, becoming the first spinal cord injury patient in Taiwan to regain the ability to stand upright after more than five years through cell therapy.
