Stem Cell Therapy For Neurological Disorders

Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis and others affect the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves—and can profoundly impact quality of life. At Viezec, we specialise in advanced stem cell-based treatments designed for these challenging conditions. Our goal: to support your journey with the highest standards of safety, expertise and patient-centred care.

Please note: Stem cell therapy for neuro disorders is an evolving field. Results vary by individual, condition and stage. This treatment may not be suitable for everyone, and it is not a guaranteed cure.

What are neurological (neuro) disorders?

Neurological disorders are a broad group of conditions that affect the nervous system—including the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. They may be caused by genetic factors, injury/trauma, degeneration, infections, circulation problems or autoimmune processes. Examples include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), stroke, and spinal muscular atrophy.

These disorders often lead to symptoms such as memory loss, tremors, muscle weakness or paralysis, coordination/balance issues, sensory changes and diminished daily functioning. Because of the complexity of the nervous system and its limited ability to self-repair, treating neuro disorders presents unique challenges.

How can stem cell therapy help?

Stem cell therapy leverages cells that have the ability to renew themselves, differentiate into various specialized types and support tissue repair and regeneration.
In the context of neuro disorders, stem cell treatment may support the nervous system in several ways:

Replacing damaged or lost nerve cells (neurons) or supporting glial (support) cells
Secreting growth factors and anti-inflammatory mediators that help surviving neurons function better
Promoting repair of nerve pathways, reducing scar tissue and improving connectivity
While research is ongoing, emerging clinical trials show promise in certain conditions.

Specific disorders we work with

Our clinic focuses on the following neuro disorders (among others). Each has its own profile of progression, symptoms, and therapeutic strategy.

Alzheimer’s disease — A progressive brain disorder characterised by memory loss, behavioural changes and impaired daily functioning. Stem-cell based approaches are being investigated to slow progression and support cognitive and synaptic health.
Parkinson’s disease — A degenerative disorder affecting movement: tremors, rigidity, postural instability. Stem cell treatments may help by replenishing dopaminergic neurons or modulating neuro-inflammation.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) — A progressive disease affecting motor neurons of the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and respiratory complications. Experimental stem cell therapies may provide neuro-protective support.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) — An autoimmune disorder causing demyelination of nerve fibres in the central nervous system, resulting in a broad spectrum of symptoms. Stem cell transplantation (hematopoietic or mesenchymal) is under study for immune reset and repair.
Stroke / Brain Injury — After acute injury (vascular or traumatic), stem cells may aid in neuro-rehabilitation, regeneration of damaged tissue and functional recovery.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Ataxia, Intellectual Disabilities, Muscular Dystrophy — We offer tailored treatment pathways in collaboration with neurologists and rehabilitation specialists.

Note: Each condition requires individual assessment; suitability for stem cell therapy depends on factors such as stage, overall health, prior therapies and realistic goals.

What does the evidence say?

The field of stem cell therapy for neuro disorders is advancing rapidly, but it remains at various stages of development depending on the disorder.

Animal studies and pre-clinical models demonstrate that neural progenitor or induced pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into neurons or glia, improve functional outcomes and integrate into host tissue.
Early human clinical trials are ongoing; some show promising safety and modest functional improvements, but no therapy yet provides guaranteed reversal of major neurodegeneration.
It is essential to understand that:
- The timing of treatment (earlier stage often yields better outcomes) matters.
- Recovery is often incremental rather than dramatic.
- Adjunct therapies (rehabilitation, physiotherapy, diet, medication) remain critical in parallel.
  Given these realities, our clinic emphasises realistic expectations, ongoing monitoring and customised care plans.

Patient Journey — What to expect at Viezec

Initial Evaluation — Neurology assessment, imaging/diagnostics (MRI/CT, electrophysiology), baseline functional metrics.
Treatment Planning — Multidisciplinary team (neurologist, stem-cell specialist, rehabilitation therapist) defines goals, cell type, delivery method, timeframe, cost and risks.
Procedure — Under sterile conditions, stem cells (autologous or allogeneic) are processed and delivered via the agreed route (intravenous, intrathecal, intraspinal or intracerebral depending on condition).
Post-Treatment Monitoring — Hospital stay & observation, routine labs/imaging, functional assessments.
Rehabilitation & Follow-Up — Neuro-rehab, physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy as required; periodic follow-ups at 3/6/12 months.
Outcome Evaluation & Support — Documenting changes in mobility, cognitive function, quality of life; offering supportive therapies and long-term management.

How to choose a reputable clinic

When considering stem cell therapy for neuro disorders, make sure to evaluate the following:

Clinic accreditation, licensing and regulatory compliance (in India: DCGI, ICMR guidelines).
Transparent information on cell type (mesenchymal, neural progenitor, autologous vs allogeneic), sourcing and processing standards.
Track record, published results or case-studies specific to the chosen disorder.
Clearly articulated risks, limitations and realistic outcome scenarios.
Patient support infrastructure: rehabilitation services, multidisciplinary team, long-term follow-up.
Financial transparency: costs, what’s included, financing options, what happens if further treatments are needed.
Ethical practice (e.g., no over-promising, no use of non-approved embryonic stem cells if that’s your policy).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is stem cell therapy a cure for neurological disorders?
No. Stem cell therapy aims to support recovery and slow disease progression. Individual results vary.

How long does it take to see improvement?
Some patients may notice gradual improvements in motor control or energy within months; for others, progress may take longer.

Are there side effects?
A: Mild fever, fatigue, or localized soreness at the injection site may occur temporarily. Serious side effects are rare under proper medical supervision.

How do I know if I’m a candidate?
A: Our medical team will evaluate your reports and recommend the most appropriate plan based on your diagnosis, age, and general health.

Do you offer rehabilitation after therapy?
Yes, rehabilitation and physiotherapy are integral to maximizing recovery after stem cell therapy.
