| Intervention |
Autologous Bone Marrow-Derived Mononuclear Cell Fraction |
The posterior iliac crest is often where bone marrow is collected under either local or general anesthesia for the aspiration process. About 80–100 ml of bone marrow is aspirated.A Multidirectional Multiple hole Jamshedi needle by Single puncture site was used to aspirate bone marrow using luer lock syringes with heparin sodium as anticoagulant in a 10 percent solution. The BM aspirate was then filtered through blood transfusion (BT) set filter and injected into Tubex tube (2 tubes used in case of adults and 1 in case of children) then subjected to density gradient separation by two rounds of centrifugation in a centrifugation machine, namely:
Br1- 3000rpm for a period of 6 min
Br2- 3000rpm for a period of 5 min
The MNC concentrate separated after centrifugation is taken for CD34 count and viable cell count. The resulting cells were re-suspended to prepare 10 ml BMMNC to be injected (5 ml in children). The patients were injected either intrathecal or intra-venous or intramuscular depending on the patient’s disease condition. |

Brief Summary
|
Neurological disorders encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body and includes illnesses like cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, and muscular dystrophy, that currently have no known definitive treatments or cures. With their capacity to differentiate into diverse cell lineages, immunomodulatory attributes, and paracrine actions, therapeutic MNCs hold great promise for the treatment of neurological disorders and being autologous have the additional benefit of being safe. Objectives: To evaluate safety and efficacy of autologous BM-MNCs and their impact on quality of life in patients with neurological disorders. 200 patients of neurological disorders, will be included in study and each Individual will be injected MNCs intrathecally and/or intramuscularly which will be obtained from the patient’s own blood marrow. 3 such cycles of autologous BM-MNCs will be administered at an interval of 3 months with a mean follow up of 15 ± 1 months from the baseline. Autologous MNCs administration, intrathecally as well as intramuscularly can prove to be a safe and efficacious treatment option that produces functional improvements in incurable neurological diseases and hence, a new hope for these patients. |
