Spinal cord injuries often leave persistent aftereffects, and limb numbness following spinal cord injury is one of the common complications. Currently, the most effective medical treatment for spinal cord injury is biological therapy, which uses biological repair factors to directly target damaged spinal nerves. These biological repair factors possess multiple biological characteristics related to differentiation and regeneration, enabling them to repair and replace injured or dead spinal cord cells. When spinal cord damage is maximally repaired, the various symptoms caused by the injury naturally diminish or even disappear. Therefore, biological therapy can fundamentally treat limb numbness resulting from spinal cord injury.
