Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Efficacy-Sensivity Improvement Using the ASIA Score
Sensitivity improvement was measured using the ASIA (American Spinal Injury Association) scale to measure the Surface sensitivity (LTS), pain sensitivity (PPS), and the degree of motor function in key muscles (MS). The sum of MS, LTS, and PPS configure total ASIA score. A minimum possible score is 0 points. A maximum possible score is 224 points for a patient with normal sensation. ASIA score was obtained before surgery, and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after surgery. Mean and standard deviation for the 10 patients were obtained at all the time points and statistically analyzed.
Efficacy- Changes in Functional Independence Measure Scale
- Changes in Functional Independence Measure scale (NIF scale), score at the beginning, through and the end of the treatment. Ranges score: 18 to 126. Being 18 total patient dependency and 126 total patient independence.
Efficacy-Change in Barthel Score
- Changes in Barthel score at the beginning, through and the end of the treatment. Ranges score: 0 to 100. Being 0 total patient dependency and 100 total patient independence.
Efficacy-IANC-SCIFRS Scale
-Changes in IANC-SCIFRS scale Ranges score: 0 to 48. Being 0 severe degree of disability and 48 normal value.
Efficacy-Changes in PENN Score.
- Changes in PENN score at the beginning, through and the end of the treatment Ranges score: 0 to 4. Being 0 absence of spasms and 4 frequency greater than 10 spasms per hour.
Changes in ASHWORTH Score
- Changes in ASHWORTH score at the beginning, through and the end of the treatment Ranges score: 0 to 4. Being 0 when there isn´t increase in muscle tone when stretching, and 4 when there is rigid affected follow-up in flexion or extension
Efficacy-Changes in EVA Score
• Changes in EVA score at the beginning, through and the end of the treatment Ranges score: 0 to 10. Being 0 absence of pain and 10 the worst pain.
Efficacy- Changes in Geffner Score
changes in Geffner score before surgery (baseline visit) and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after surgery (follow-up period) Ranges score: 0 to 6. Being 0 absence of bladder control and 6 total control of bladder
Efficacy- Changes in NBD Score
changes in NBD score before surgery (baseline visit) and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after surgery (follow-up period) Ranges score: 0 to 47. 0-6 is very minor dysfunction. 7-9 is minor dysfunction. 10-13 is moderate dysfunction; and 14 or more is severe dysfunction.
Efficacy-Changes in the Neurophysiological Parameters (SSEPs, Somatosensory Evoked Potentials)
Changes in the neurophysiological parameters (SSEPs, somatosensory evoked potentials) measured as the number of patients that improved along the study.
Efficacy-Urodynammic in Terms of Detrusor Pressure
Urodynamic studies in terms of detrusor pressure (decrease on detrusor pressure is considered a clinical improvement)
Efficacy-Urodynamic Studies Bladder Compliance
Urodynamic studies in terms of Bladder compliance. Bladder compliance is the result of a mathematical calculation of volume responsible for 1 cm H2O pressure rise measured during a cystometric filling . It gives an indication on how the different mechanisms in the bladder wall react on stretching. It is obvious that compliance figures can vary widely in groups which makes it difficult to define limits of normality.
Efficacy-Urodynamic Studies Maximum Cystometric Capacity
Urodynamic studies in terms of Maximum cystometric capacity
Efficacy-modification of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Number of patients with changes in morphology of injury compared with basal images

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Adverse Events .
- The safety will be valued with number of adverse events related with administration of subarachnoid autologous Bone Marrow Expanded Mesenchymal Cells in Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).
Efficacy- Expression of Neurotrophins in CSF (CerebroSpinal Fluid) Samples
Changes in expression of neurotrophins in CSF (CerebroSpinal Fluid) samples obtained previously to first administration of cell therapy, and previously to the last administration, at month 10, in order to study the variability in the expression of neurotrophins along time. The mean+SD (standard deviation) at each time point was obtained. The tested neurotrophins were: BDNF.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The study goes on 24 months, with recruiting, treatment and follow period for all patients. The first day for each patient will be the first cellular administration. 3 doses will be administrated every 3 months from first dose. When the clinical trial finishes, it will be done a completed check of all obtained parameters.
Detailed Description
It is a clinical trial phase I, single center, non-randomized, uncontrolled, open prospective follow-up of a cohort of patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) .10 patients will be included with this injury. Primary objective: Analyze the possible clinical efficacy of administration of main adult mesenchymal autologous cells expanded "in vitro" in patients with incomplete and chronically established SCI. Secondary objectives: Confirm the safety of treatment, and study possible changes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels (Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), Nerve Growth Factor 3 and 4(NT3 and NT4) after subarachnoid administration of BMMC.
