Stem Cell Therapy In East Delhi

Our approach consists of using a combination of:

1. O Stem Cell Therapy.
2. NeuroRehabilitation.
3. Other Medical and Surgical treatment.

How do Stem Cell Work?

Stem cells work by following mechanisms:
1. They release growth factors which have a healing and regenerative effects on damaged tissue.
2.They cause angiogenesis or increase in the blood supply of damaged tissue thereby helping in their repair process.
3.They convert into the tissue type of cells into which they are implanted, thereby replacing non-functioning tissue.

Types of Stem Cell?

There are two main types of stem cells:

1. Autologous stem cells: These are the stem cells derived from the patient's own body, such as bone marrow stem cells. Since these cells are obtained from the patients themselves they are absolutely safe and have no compatibility issue. Hence rejection is not a possibility. Also they are available in abundance and can be isolated easily. They are therefore the safest option.

2.Allogenic Stem cells: These are the stem cells taken from another person hence compatibility issues have to be taken into account The sources of these stem cells could be from the embryo or unborn fetus. These are known as embryonic stem cells & are obtained from spare embryos from IVF clinics. The other source is Allogenic stem cells from the umbilical cord of a new born baby.

What are stem cells?

Stem cells are the building blocks of our body. These are very unique cells which have the property to multiply many times and form different types of cells and tissues of our body. Hence these stem cells can be used to regenerate & repair the damaged parts of our body, for e.g., these cells have been used to form neural cells in patients with brain damage. heart cells in cardiac patients, insulin producing cells in diabetic patients, corneal cells in patients with blindness.

What can be treated?

Pediatric
1. Autism

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, and restricted and repetitive behavior. Parents usually notice signs in the first two years of their child's life. These signs often develop gradually, though some children with autism reach their developmental milestones at a normal pace and then regress.

2. Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy, is a neurodevelopemental disorder, which is caused by any event leading to the damage to brain around the time of birth. The causes can range from nutritional factors, physical trauma , hypoxia / lack of oxygen flow due to factors such as cord around the neck, birth asphyxia, etc. The impact ranges from mild physical disability to very severe disability along with comorbid mental retardation.

3. Intellectual Disability

Mental retardation/lntellectual disability (ID) is a generalized neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significantly impaired intellectual and adaptive functioning. It is defined by an IQ score below 70 in addition to deficits inability to perform activities of daily routine.

4.Muscular Dystrophy

Muscular dystrophy (MD) is genetic disorder that causes the muscles in the body to gradually weaken and eventually stop working. It is caused by incorrect or missing genetic information that prevents the body from correctly making the proteins needed to build and maintain healthy muscles . Over time, people with MD lose the ability to walk, sit upright, breathe easily, and move their arms and hands. Hence it is a progressively deteriorating disorder, which leads to death, sometimes ,as early as 20 years of age.

Adult

Spinal Cord Injury

An injury to the spinal cord can happen due to trauma (such as road traffic accident, fall from a height, etc.) or due to non traumatic conditions (spinal tumor or infection of the spine). Depending on the level of the injury, a person can be rendered paralysed below the neck in a cervical cord injury (quadriplegia) or below chest /waist in a thoracic/dorsal cord injury (paraplegia) along with loss of bladder and bowel continence.

Traumatic Brain injury / Head Injury

Brain damage sustained due to trauma can be very devastating, leading (to physical disability, loss of function, amnesia, function and understanding. This often leaves a permanent disability and renders a person completely dependent on his caretaker for all activities.

Stroke

Brain Stroke or Cerebrovascular accident is the most devastating condition of brain. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the world. It causes permanent damage of the brain functions which might result in inability to move limbs, vision problem, speech problems, altered sensations or impairments. Stroke can be of two types, Ischemic or Hemorrhagic.
