Conditions
Brief summary
The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of functional neural regeneration collagen scaffold transplanted into acute spinal cord injury patients.
Interventions
Patients will receive functional neural regeneration collagen scaffold and patients will undergo a comprehensive rehabilitation and psychological measures after surgery.

History of mental illness or suicide risk, with a history of epilepsy or other central nervous system disorders. 6. Severe arrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia, frequent superventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and atrial flutter) or cardiac degree II or above conduction abnormalities displayed via 12-lead ECG. 7. Lactating and pregnant woman. 8. Alcohol drug abuse /dependence. 9. Participated in any other clinical trials within 3 months before the enrollment. 10. A drug or treatment known to cause effect on the central nervous system during the past four weeks. 11. A drug or treatment known to cause major organ system toxicity during the past four weeks. 12. Poor compliance, difficult to complete the study. 13. Any other conditions that might increase the risk of subjects or interfere with the clinical trial.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety Evaluation Number of patients with adverse events | 6 months | Number of patients with adverse events is as a measure of safety and tolerability after collagen scaffold transplantation. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Improvements in ASIA Impairment Scale | 12 months | American Spinal Injury Assessment Scale of A, B, C, D or E will be assessed before and after transplantation. |
| Improvements in Electrophysiological monitoring | 12 months | Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP) monitoring will be assessed before and after transplantation. |
