Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Men and women between age 18 and 50
- Paraplegics and quadriplegics with complete or incomplete spinal cord injuries.
- Willingness to undergo bone marrow derived autologous cell therapy.
- Ability and willingness to make regular visits to hospital and follow ups during the protocol procedure and comply with all medical instructions
- Traumatic Injury of spinal cord with complete or partial damage by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and injury level below C4
- ASIA impairment scale from A - C
- Must have proof of health insurance in country of residence.
- Signed informed consent
Exclusion
- Pre- existing or current systemic disease such as lung, liver (exception: history of uncomplicated hepatitis A), gastrointestinal, cardiac, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
- History of life threatening allergic- or immune-mediated reaction
- Hemodynamic instability
- Peripheral muscular dystrophy
- Lactating or pregnant woman
- Women capable of childbearing unwilling to use multiple forms of contraception

- Open injuries
- Active infectious diseases
- Life expectancy of less than one year due to terminal condition
- Neurodegenerative diseases
- Primary hematologic diseases
- Any of the following medications that cannot be discontinued one week prior to the first stem cell administration and throughout the course of treatment. (1 week before visit 2 through one week after visit 12)
- Antibiotics
- Antifungals
- Antivirals
- Blood thinners (to avoid bleeding risk during bone marrow aspiration and IT procedures)

- Uncorrected coagulopathy during the baseline period defined as: International Normalized Ratio (INR) \> 1.4; Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT) \> 35 sec; Platelet Count (PLT) \< 100,000.
- Pre-injury history of seizure disorder and/or neurological impairment where participation in age-appropriate pain rating scales would not be practical or possible
