About this trial

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe disorder of the central nervous system, and effective clinical management remains a significant global challenge. Current therapeutic approaches can only partially restore neurological function, leaving the majority of individuals with SCI facing profound and lifelong disabilities. The Department of Spine Surgery at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University is conducting a clinical study on the use of autologous concentrated growth factors for the treatment of spinal cord injury, with the aim of developing a novel and effective clinical intervention strategy.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF)

    Biological/Vaccine

    Concentrated Growth Factors (CGF) have garnered significant attention owing to their distinct biological properties . CGF is a concentrated autologous platelet-rich fibrin matrix derived from centrifuged venous blood, containing high levels of bioactive growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF). These growth factors play pivotal roles in promoting angiogenesis, modulating inflammatory responses, and stimulating cellular proliferation and differentiation. Evidence suggests that CGF not only enhances the local microenvironment at the site of injury but also promotes neural repair by activating endogenous neural stem cells and supporting axonal regeneration, thereby offering a promising multi-target therapeutic approach for spinal cord injury recovery.
