Thoriq sustained a severe traumatic spinal cord injury in 2020, resulting in complete
paraplegia. Within just a few months of his injury, he lost muscle tone and developed flaccid
paraplegia, along with a complete loss of control over his bowel and bladder functions. He
received Verita Neuro’s flagship LamiSpine surgery, during which purified and cultured
populations of amniotic fluid stem cells were carefully transplanted into the injured spinal
cord. Additionally, he received one IV and one intrathecal injection of stem cells.
After the surgery, Thariq reported increased levels of neuropathic pain for a few weeks,
which were managed with pain medications. There were no other reported side effects
post-surgery. The pain levels started to subside, and he began extensive training. After a
few weeks, his muscles started to contract again, and his motor function and muscle control
began to recover. Since the initial surgery, Thariq has been undergoing physiotherapy and
extensive muscle strengthening, resulting in gradual recovery of function. So far, he has
recovered more than 80% of the muscles in his lower limbs, with almost complete recovery
in his left leg motor function and control, bowel, bladder, and sexual functions, as well as
significant recovery in his right leg and sensations.
