Stroke affects people worldwide. Most of the strokes are ischemic in nature and occur due to the reduced oxygen supply to the brain. As no oxygen reaches the brain, millions and billions of brain cells die. People suffering from stroke may have permanent disabilities after the stroke.
Stem Cells For Treating Stroke
The neural stem cells are found in all mammals and can specialize to form all kinds of brain cells, including the glial cells, oligodendrocytes, and other neural cells. The cells also have the self-renewal property. Hence, a small number of regenerative cells can be processed in-vitro (in the lab) to produce a large number of cells. Modern stem cell stroke treatment providing healthcare institutions use a procedure by the name “Conditional Immortalization”. Through this procedure, a single neural cell is transuded with genes, so that it can multiply for an infinite number of times and form exact replicating copies. The newly formed cells are also stable and retain the original healing and functioning property of the original and initial cells.
The transplanted stem cells restore the motor functions and are a safe way of treating stroke. Stem cell therapy also does not have any side effect and is not life-threatening. MSC’s or Mesenchymal Stem Cells that are used for treating Stroke can be easily obtained from the bone marrow. These cells do not trigger any kind of immune rejection response, and the body accepts them easily during transplantation. These cells also do not form tumors or any kind of unwanted tissues. Stem cells, when inside the body, secrete the cytokines and some trophic factors that promote better blood supply to the brain and provide Neuroregeneration and Neuroprotection.
Patients show a number of improvements within the first month of treatment. They show improvements in areas like lower and upper limb activity, hand and limb functions, balancing, trunk activity, ambulation, better mental functions, and speech. The improvements may be moderate to extensive but are definite.
Why NGBSI For Stem cell Therapy?
NeuroGen Brain and Spine Institute (NGBSI) is an ISO certified institution. It has an advanced stem cell lab, state-of-the-art operation theaters and other facilities like accommodations and cafeteria. Patients from across the world can reach the institution easily (through NeuroGen’s visa and travel assistance) and get stem cell therapy for Stroke. NGBSI has an expert team of health care practitioners, including neurosurgeons, neurologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, speech therapists and dietitians to offer the best treatment. The institute also has a secondary team of health practitioners including urologists, orthopedic surgeons, ophthalmologists, ENT specialists and other therapy providers to address other health conditions associated with Stroke.
