Double epidural stimulator recipient Edward was a returning patient to Verita Neuro when we interviewed him. The first treatment was for upper body function and a small Neuro Stimulator was implanted for his upper body function at the cervical level. With his second treatment, he received the same stimulator for his lower body function.
Following a spinal cord injury, sex will inevitably change, become difficult and often become impossible. Traumatic spinal cord injury results in a vast array of functional and nonfunctional changes in the body ranging, from loss of motor and sensory functions to changes in hormone levels.
Incomplete spinal cord injury patients usually retain some level of sensory and/or motor function below their injury level. Epidural stimulation can be especially effective for these patients, and Dr. Nasir spoke to Karla about her experiences and the benefits which she saw from her treatment.
Using Exosomes therapy to treat spinal cord injury is a relatively new process. Exomes themselves have only been recognised in the literature in the past 60 years, with detailed descriptions and naming only coming in the 1980s. We are working with exomes at Verita Neuro.
