Parkinson's disease stem cell treatment

Treat Parkinson's Disease with stem cells and improve function

Research has shown that adult stem cells are able to effectively regenerate dopamine producing neurons in people suffering from Parkinson's disease, increasing mobility, reducing tremors and rigidity and halting the progression of the disease. As a result, adult stem cell therapy developed at a couple of Asia's top centers for neuroscience is now being successfully used as a primary treatment method for Parkinson's disease.

Data shows efficacy of stem cell therapy for Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease was one of the first conditions treated with stem cells. It has been used since 2005 and just over 500 international patients are treated in the top three neurological hospitals in China every year. To date, just over 80% of those patients show improvements in motor ability, gait and strength as well as reduced rigidity and tremors.

Treatment package details and costs

Vigendo's partner hospitals provide in-patient care for patients with Parkinson's disease with round the clock medical support in modern facilities.

Depending on your individual condition, treatment lasts between 4 and 5 weeks. The cost will depend on your individual treatment plan as well as your individual condition. Therefore, we advise you to contact us for a free evaluation and quote.

The following is however always included in the package

• Stem cell therapy, medication and general medical services
• Physical, speech and occupational therapy (where applicable)
• Hospital accommodation for you and your travel companion
• Transportation to and from the airport

Vigendo is committed to the welfare of our clients and provides additional assistance before, during and after treatment to make sure that you gain the most from your medical care.

You may see improvements during your hospitalization due to neurotrophic factors released during the stem cell transplantation, which stimulate nerve activity; new, dopamine producing neurons will grow for up to six months after you have completed your treatment and you will continue to see results during that time.

Delivery methods and stem cell types

Improved cell culturing technology and delivery techniques developed in China have increased the efficacy of stem cell treatment in the last few years. stereotactic surgery, IV drip and lumbar puncture are used individually or in combination and safely and effectively enable the stem cells to reach the site of injury, allowing for dopamine producing neuron regeneration.

In treatments for Parkinson's disease, the following types of cells are used:

• Umbilical cord stem cells
• hPRE stem cells
• Neural stem cells
• Autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

All stem cells are processed, tested and cultured before implantation. The delivery method and type of stem cell ultimately used for your treatment will be determined by the medical team and depends on your individual condition.

Side effects and risks

As with all medical procedures, you may experience some side effects following your implantation, the most common are: dizziness, nausea, headaches or a slight fever. These side effects do not pose any threat to the overall success of the treatment.

Independent research shows that rejection reactions, tumors or other stronger side effects of stem cell implantation are highly unlikely. Stem cells have, in fact, been shown to reduce rejection reactions in for example organ transplants. These research results are supported by years of clinical use.
