Autism is a range of neurological disorders which are characterized by marked deficits in areas such as communication, social interactions, and sensory sensitivities. Research confirms that the traits of autism in children arise due to diminished oxygenation in areas of the brain. Although the administration of antibiotics and anti‐inflammatory agents provide temporary relief to the gut, still they fail to reverse the symptoms of autism. Autism treatment with stem cells is the only way to treat various symptoms of autism.
Various neurodevelopmental disorders in autism are characterized by the abnormal development of the brain that occurs during the early development phase. This leads to a myriad of symptoms including social deficits and delayed in reaching their milestones.
Diagnosis
The diagnostic criteria for autism are the same for both children as well as adults. At times, children go undiagnosed until they get older or are misdiagnosed perhaps with a mental illness of another kind. Symptoms of autism or autism spectrum disorders can vary between individuals. Still, they all share three of the common characteristics given below:
- Lack of social interaction
- Lack of communication
- Preferences for a fixed routine
On visiting the specialist, the parents are asked about the signs of autism detected in the child. They inquire about their social and communication flaws, sensory concerns, and overall behavioral issues. Accordingly, they evaluate the child potentials and chalk out a perfect treatment plan that involves cell treatments and occupational therapy.
Common occupational therapy interventions help kids with autism to participate in school and social gathering. But, autism treatment with stem cells is a regenerative medicine with a sole objective to restore the functionality of the damaged tissue in patients with autism and other progressive neurological disorders. Neurosurgeons at NeuroGen Brain and Spine Institute use bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell repair or renew tissues affected with the disease and congenital deficiencies. At NGBSI, the team of doctors and core staff headed by Dr. Alok Sharma have successfully treated many patients with neurological disorders. He dedicatedly works to treat patients not only in India but has spread the advantages of cell treatment across the globe. His caring mannerism has improved the lives of 1839 patients with autism.
At the hospital, the application of stem cells is used as a therapeutic tool for autism and neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, muscular dystrophy, etc. The bone marrow extracted mesenchymal stem cells help in the repair process by regenerating new cells to replace the dead or damaged ones. Thus, the main mechanisms of stem cells comprise of
- Neuro-regeneration
- Neuro-replacement
- Neuro-protection
- Immunomodulation
- Reconstruction of axon sprouting and neural circuit
When the stem cells are extracted, filtered and treated from the patient’s own bone marrow, they are transplanted back into his/her spinal area. The infused stem cells migrate towards the injured regions of the brain. Here the anchor into the damaged tissue and differentiate into the host tissue cell type. They replace the injured/dead neuronal tissue to regain the lost brain plasticity and neuronal functions.
