“For those who’ve suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury and are paralyzed, there’s rarely encouraging news, which is why what’s happening in early clinical trials in a research lab in Lausanne, Switzerland is so remarkable. A renowned French neuroscientist, Gregoire Courtine, and Swiss neurosurgeon, Dr. Jocelyne Bloch, have implanted a small stimulation device on the spine of paralyzed patients, helping them once again stand up and walk. When we visited their lab, NeuroRestore, in March, they were working with a 39-year-old woman whose spinal cord was severed six and a half years ago. She’d been told she’d never walk again. Marta Carsteanu-Dombi is the most severely paralyzed patient who’s enrolled in this clinical trial at NeuroRestore to regain mobility in her legs.”From CBS News.
