How Stem Cell Treatment Can Help People
with Traumatic Brain Injury

Neurological disorders include a broad range of conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. These include conditions such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease, stroke, spinal cord injuries, and even Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Before the advent of stem cell medicine, the progression of these diseases could not be slowed, and they were treated only symptomatically, using a whole spectrum of drugs. The damage that the neurons had sustained could not be fixed.

Fortunately, stem cells have since demonstrated remarkable healing properties in the body. Studies have now shown that stem cells can repair damaged neurons, reduce symptom-causing inflammation, and even regrow new nerve cells.

Sport-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) have received significant media coverage in recent years. Severe impact to the head—unfortunately common in many sports, like football—can permanently disrupt normal brain function. This is often characterized by decreased cognition, impaired motor function, or even early death. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) naturally produce growth and trophic factors, which play vital roles in neural development and maintenance. For TBI patients, an infusion of MSCs can replenish injured neurons, and the secreted factors can facilitate neuronal regeneration.
Our two-day protocol centers on the intrathecal transplant of stem cells: a minimum of 120 million cord tissue-derived MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) are injected directly into the problem area. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, is minimally invasive, and has very little downtime. Patients normally travel home two days following their scheduled appointment.

Our protocol aims to reduce the overall levels of chronic low-grade inflammation in the body. The effects are expected to last for a very long time.

Stem cells are uniquely and intrinsically able to migrate to sites of damage and inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that stem cells are able to orchestrate the repair and regeneration of deteriorated tissues, as well as modulate the immune system, to promote better health.

Depending on the ailment or the patient’s initial condition, the benefits of stem cell therapy can include a reduction in harmful symptoms, the slowing of the progression of the disease, and an overall increase in quality of life.
