Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury is frequently subject to marketing claims beyond the evidence.

Studied in animal models.

Only small case reports exist.

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.

Existing studies are limited by sample size, methodology, and follow-up, and SVF preparation differs substantially between centres, making cross-study comparison difficult.
