Ataxia treatment with stem cell therapy

Ataxia treatment with stem cell therapy is among the newest methods that can help to decrease the severity of symptoms and improve the patient's condition in general. Stem cell therapy helps to renew damaged neurons and develop new ones to replace dead nerve cells. Before starting the treatment process, medical practitioners should ensure the patient can successfully finish the therapy. So, doctors prescribe s set of lab tests and medical imaging procedures, examine previous medical records, and get other necessary information about the health status and disease course. Before the treatment, the patient undergoes a specific stimulation therapy that helps to increase the number of stem cells inside the body. A doctor gathers stem cells from obtained fat. Next, these cells enhanced and increased in numbers in the lab. Finally, stem cells deliver back to the patient's organism. During the treatment, the patient receives all necessary medications that help to decrease ataxia symptoms, manage pain and cope with other symptoms. Also, the patient should visit the clinic for additional examination to ensure the treatment was successful. Studies have shown improvement in symptoms: balance, daily activity, coordination, walking, and swallowing. However, stem cell therapy needs more research to prove its effectiveness.
