Physiotherapy is the best option
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is unfortunate that your friend suffered from good and vigorous physiotherapy. There are several good centers available in the country for the same. One of the best is located at CMC Vellore near Chennai. They have excellent facilities for physiotherapy and rehabilitation of spinal cord injury patients. Treatment includes regular exercises, prevention of bed sores, and treatment of any infections such as urinary tract infections, etc.
Stem cell treatment is being experimented in cases of spinal cord injury. It should be understood that stem cell therapy is still in trial phase and not approved by FDA in spinal cord injury.
I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries.
Best wishes,

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
As I mentioned earlier, the stem cell treatment is promising, however, the benefit is not proven. A number of hospitals across the world are involved in stem cell treatment research in spinal cord injury clinical trial" you will get various results. The family can choose one of them and get enrolled in the trial.
