Studies have shown the following potential symptom improvements:
A spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when damage to the spinal cord disrupts its function, potentially leading to loss of muscle function, senses, and autonomic functions throughout the body. Typically, SCI results from serious accidents or violent events. This type of injury usually has a lasting effect on an individual’s daily life. Roughly 12,500 spinal cord injuries occur in the U.S. each year.
The spinal cord consists of a bundle of nerves that run down the back. These nerves are responsible for carrying signals between the body and the brain, so when the spinal cord becomes damaged, it results in the disruption of this critical transfer of signals. Usually, the spinal cord becomes damaged as a result of a fracture or dislocation of the vertebrae or bone disks.
Due to the complex nature of the spine, various types of SCI can result in different symptoms. There are two main types of SCI: complete, in which the spinal cord is fully damaged and total loss of function occurs; and, incomplete, in which the spinal cord is only partially damaged. SCIs are further classified by the region of the spine in which they occur, which corresponds with various body parts and systems:
In addition to these symptoms, SCI patients may experience headaches, chronic muscle and nerve pain, loss of sexual function, and low libido, among others. While there is currently no treatment method available to fully reverse spinal cord damage, all techniques are focused on preventing further injury and improving quality of life. Rehabilitation, surgery, and medications may be used, depending on the nature of the injury and its symptoms.
Regenerative medicine for Spinal Cord Injury is an emerging area of treatment for conditions and injuries. Injuries to the spinal cord typically result in the loss of nerve cells. Regenerative therapies have the ability to repair damaged cells and tissues by helping the body’s natural repair kit work more effectively and regenerating new cells.
In particular, Regenerative medicine for Spinal Cord Injury has the unique ability of self-renewal, which enables them to become virtually any type of cell. They can, therefore, be directed to become neurons and promote the regeneration of cells damaged by SCI. By focusing on the regeneration of the damaged areas within the spinal cord, stem cells can help to fix the connections between the body and the brain. They do this by secreting cytokines and other cells, which promote the nerve growth factors to activate the body’s natural self-healing mode.
For SCI patients and individuals who have experienced other conditions involving lasting cell or tissue damage, results such as decreased chronic pain and muscle tension improved circulation and motor functions, and increased strength is a potential outcome. Some studies have been performed with stem cell treatment for SCI and other injuries and they have found potential results.
Regenerative Medicine is still considered an experimental procedure and not approved by the FDA. Patients must consider realistic expectations in their research and possible therapy options.

Medical Review: Dr. Gerald Mastaw, MD – Board-Certified PhysicianLast Updated: October 2025 What Is a Spinal Cord Injury? A spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when trauma or disease disrupts the communication between the brain and the rest of the body.This damage can result from accidents, falls, infections, or tumors, and depending on where the injury…
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating neurological condition that disrupts communication between the brain and body. The injury unfolds in two major phases. The primary injury occurs at the moment of trauma, such as a fracture or dislocation of the vertebrae, which directly damages neurons and axons. This mechanical disruption can immediately sever nerve…
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-changing condition that affects hundreds of thousands of people in the United States. Each year, approximately 17,000 new cases are reported, and more than 290,000 individuals are living with long-term effects. Damage to the spinal cord can lead to partial or complete loss of movement and sensation below the…
