3D Nerve Bridge Rehabilitation Trial to start in Australia

This rehabilitation trial conducted by The Perry Cross Foundation and Griffith University in Australia aims to determine how people respond to a program of intensive long-term rehabilitation.

This trial is an important precursor of a bigger future trial that is being planned which involves the transplantation of cells to repair the injury site.

The overall cell transplantation plus rehabilitation therapy plans to use a 3D nerve bridge produced with specialised cells called olfactory ensheathing cells which normally support the nerve cells responsible for the sense of smell.
