Core Tip Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSCdE) therapy shows promise for traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, with significant improvements in motor and cognitive function reflected in functional independence measure scores. The treatment was well tolerated, with mild, temporary side effects such as subfebrile fever and pain, and no serious adverse events reported. Enhanced Karnofsky Performance Scale scores suggest improved quality of life and functional status, supporting its potential for long-term recovery. While spasticity improvement was observed, it was not statistically significant, possibly due to mild baseline spasticity. These findings support MSCdE therapy as a potential treatment for TBI, warranting further validation through larger randomized controlled trials.
