Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell transplantation in the management of neurological sequelae after traumatic brain injury
Detailed description
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cell transplantation in 25 patients with neurological sequelae after traumatic brain injury compared with 25 patients in control group (no intervention) at the time points of baseline, 3rd month (D90), 6th month (D180), and 12th month (D360).
Interventions
Bm-MNC will be transplanted at baseline, and the second transplantation will be performed 6 months after the first transplantation
