Condition
Spinal Cord Injury
Very limited human evidence.
Quick summary
- • Beware of claims beyond the evidence
Overview
Spinal cord injury is frequently subject to marketing claims beyond the evidence.
Mechanisms studied
Studied in animal models.
Human research
Only small case reports exist.
Safety
Reported adverse events are mostly local — swelling, pain, or bruising at the harvest and injection sites. Infection and cell-processing quality remain the key risks to monitor.
Evidence limitations
Existing studies are limited by sample size, methodology, and follow-up, and SVF preparation differs substantially between centres, making cross-study comparison difficult.
