Effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in functional outcome of acute spinal cord injury patients: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial
Background
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a major public health issue causing significant disability and economic burden. Current treatments primarily focus on mitigating secondary injury, with limited effective therapies available. This study explores the efficacy of the Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) in improving functional outcomes in acute SCI patients.
Materials and methods
This single-blinded randomized control trial was conducted at JIPMER's orthopedic department. Patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) were enrolled based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were divided into two groups: Group A (n = 16) received a G-CSF injection whereas Group B (n = 18) received a placebo (normal saline) injection. The primary evaluation was based on the changes in the ASIA impairment scale at 1-, 3-, and 6-months post-injury.
Results
The study involved 34 participants, predominantly male. Initial assessments showed significant differences in ASIA scores between the groups. Group A demonstrated marked improvement in neurological status at 1, 3, and 6 months post-treatment compared to Group B. The frequency of adverse events was comparable between the two groups.
Conclusion
G-CSF showed significant improvement in ASIA scores at various time points post-administration compared to placebo. These findings suggest G-CSF as a potential therapeutic agent in acute SCI treatment. However, due to the small sample size, further research is necessary to confirm these results.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Orthopaedics aims to be a leading journal in orthopaedics and contribute towards the improvement of quality of orthopedic health care. The journal publishes original research work and review articles related to different aspects of orthopaedics including Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, Trauma, Spine and Spinal deformities, Pediatric orthopaedics, limb reconstruction procedures, hand surgery, and orthopaedic oncology. It also publishes articles on continuing education, health-related information, case reports and letters to the editor. It is requested to note that the journal has an international readership and all submissions should be aimed at specifying something about the setting in which the work was conducted. Authors must also provide any specific reasons for the research and also provide an elaborate description of the results.
