Case Study: Neural Growth Factor Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury

Patient Information

• Name: Jian Zhang
• Diagnosis: Spinal Cord Injury
• Date of Birth: January 1, 1992
• Gender: Male
• Country: China

Admission & Treatment
On December 12, 2010, Mr. Jian Zhang was admitted to Beijing Puhua International Hospital following a spinal cord injury and a previous cervical vertebrae operation. Upon admission, he exhibited complete paralysis of his arms and legs, loss of sensation below the C-5 plane, elevated body temperature (37.8℃), and pressure sores.

Mr. Zhang received Neural Growth Factor Therapy, combined with stem cell activation and proliferation program, along with rehabilitation training during his one-month stay.

Clinical Outcome
One month post-admission, Mr. Zhang demonstrated significant improvements in his neurological status:

• Regained sensation on the radial side of both arms
• Lowered neurological plane of sensation bilaterally (left: fourth intercostal plane, right: third intercostal plane)
• Normalized body temperature (37.2℃)

His pressure sores also showed signs of improvement.

Further progress would require follow-up assessment and cannot be predicted from this account.
