Patient Profile

• Name: W.A.
• Date of Birth: January 1, 1981
• Gender: Male
• Country: China

Diagnosis: Spinal Cord Injury (T12 compressed fracture)

Treatment Course: Comprehensive Treatment including Traditional Chinese Medicine and Rehabilitation Therapy at Beijing Puhua International Hospital (BPIH)

Medical History:
W.A., a resilient individual with a positive attitude, sustained a spinal cord injury following an accidental fall while working overseas in July 2017. He underwent interval fixation surgery at a local hospital but experienced minimal improvement post-surgery, requiring the use of a wheelchair. Seeking better treatment options, Mr. W.A. reached out to his medical insurance provider who recommended BPIH.

Comprehensive Treatment Plan:
Upon admission to BPIH, W.A. underwent thorough physical examinations and diagnostic tests. A multidisciplinary team consisting of rehabilitation specialists, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and orthopedists collaborated to devise a tailored treatment plan focusing on rehabilitation training and neural nutrition. Dr. Ma served as the attending physician, closely monitoring W.A.'s progress and adjusting the treatment plan accordingly.

Treatment Outcome:
After two months of dedicated treatment, Mr. W.A. was reported to have the following changes:

• Muscle tone significantly decreased
• Muscle strength increased from 2/5 to 4/5
• Both superficial and deep sensations noticeably improved in all four limbs

These encouraging results motivated Mr. W.A. to continue his rehabilitation training with unwavering dedication. The report states that he could stand independently and walk with assistance at follow-up; it does not establish the cause or durability of these changes.

Patient Testimonial:
Mr. W.A.'s outstanding progress has instilled him with renewed hope for the future. He eagerly anticipates returning to work and reuniting with his family. Mr. W.A. extends his gratitude towards BPIH's medical team, expressing his eagerness to witness further improvements in his recovery journey.

Progress Report

Patient Information

• Name: O.S.
• Date of Birth: January 1, 1981
• Gender: Male
• Nationality: Libyan

Diagnosis: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) with incomplete paraplegia following a motor vehicle accident.

Treatment Course: O.S. underwent an intensive, 21-day program at a specialized hospital. This comprehensive regimen included spinal cord reconstruction surgery, neural growth factor therapy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and rehabilitation therapy. His progress is outlined below:

Pre-treatment Status:

• Normal upper body movement
• Severely compromised sensation of pain and temperature below the level of T-11
• No sensation or control over urination and defecation

Post-treatment Progress:

• Improved sensory levels: O.S. reported experiencing sensation at his pelvic level in a lying position, with normal sensation in his pelvic region.
• Movement regain: He demonstrated the ability to move his toes slightly and developed some toe sensation post-therapy.
• Increased lower limb strength: O.S. noticed improved muscle tone and visible vessels under the skin of his legs.
• Bladder control: He gained approximately 50% voluntary control over urination with sensory awareness during voiding.
• Bowel control: O.S. exhibited around 20% voluntary control over defecation.

Follow-up (6 months post-treatment):

• Regained hip muscle power, enhancing stability while sitting.
• Able to raise knees, stretch legs, bend knees independently, and move feet backward.
• Improved neurological sensation level, allowing him to feel his legs again.
• With continued rehabilitation therapy in Egypt, O.S. can stand for more than ten minutes and move slowly with a walker instead of being confined to a wheelchair.

Future Outlook: This historical account reports changes during a multidisciplinary care programme. It cannot determine which intervention contributed to those changes or predict further recovery.
