stem cells are special cells that can differentiate into any kind of human cell. The brain is made up of nerve cells which cannot regenerate. This means that a person with a brain or spinal chord injury is not able to heal. Theoretically, a doctor could induce these stem cells to grow into nerve cells in order to heal a person with a brain or spinal chord injury. In order to do this however they would need to be able to do a lot of research with stem cells first

What is a hypothermia treatment for spinal injuries and is it effective?
According to Dr Peter Bachelor, a neurologist and lead researcher in spinal cord injuries, due to the initial injury, the spinal cord swells up. However, the injured vertebra, which surrounds and protects the spinal cord, squashes the swollen spinal cord, which potentially leads to paralysis. Dr Batchelor's new treatment involves lowering the temperature by two degrees Celsius within two hours of the injury. The induced hypothermia decreases the swelling of the spinal cord, thus the squashing trauma by the vertebrate till the necessary surgery could be performed. Animal studies showed promise, some of the animals have been able to walk after the surgery. Human trial of 140 patient will proceed during the next five years.
