Why did patients apply to this trial?

I am willing to try most things to improve my neuropathic pain and increase mobility! And if it does not help me, perhaps the trial results can help others with SCI. I have worked hard at increasing my flexibility and mobility; I have gone from paralyzed from shoulders down to being able to walk short distances with mobility aids (rollator), and able to do many activities of daily living in just 30 months since my fall that gave me a C5 incomplete SCI. I hope to be accepted by this trial.
