1-Spinal cord stimulation (stimulating battery insertion)
is a method based on moving the feet with electrical stimulation from the spinal cord. In this way, paralyzed patients can move their toes, ankles and knees for the first time in years, but they cannot walk on their own. Normally, the human spinal cord works like a high-speed train track, carrying messages from the brain to other parts of the body. If this transmission line is damaged, messages cannot be transmitted to other parts of the body. People with spinal cord paralysis can lose all sensation and mobility below the waist. By establishing this connection, the spinal cord helps the patient to move and feel his legs.
2-Spinal cord (stem cell) transplant
Spinal cord transplant, Spinal cord transplant is actually known as vertebral transplant, but this information is misunderstood. A spinal cord transplant actually consists of a stem cell transplant. Stem cell therapy is among the treatment modalities of stroke patients. It consists of stem cell transplantation between the sick person and the person whose stem cell samples will be taken. Spinal cord transplants work for most stroke patients with frayed or damaged nerves. However, the same effect cannot be observed in everyone, and stem cell transplantation may fail in some patients. Tissue compatibility and tests must be consistent on both sides for stem cell transplantation. Generally, these consistencies are quite high among relatives. It is also very important that the donor is healthy and has no disease. Before the patient has a spinal cord transplant, all tests should be done, and it should be determined whether he has any disease. All health checks are made in the same way for the person who will be a donor to the patient. If the suitability is determined and approved, the operation process begins. Bone marrow cells of the donor are taken. It is usually taken from the pelvis. Stem cells are transplanted to the spinal cord region of the patient with paralysis or partial paralysis. Stem cell transplantation has become quite simple with today’s conditions. There are many types of stem cell transplants, not just spinal cord transplants. Different types of transplantation are performed according to the patient’s condition and disease.
