Informed consent is the process of giving you clear, accurate information about a proposed treatment — what it involves, its benefits, its risks, and your alternatives — before you agree to proceed.

No. The signed form is the final record of a conversation, not the consent itself. Informed consent is an ongoing dialogue between you and the care team that continues throughout your treatment.

Your treating physician and case coordinator walk you through the information, answer your questions, and confirm your understanding before any treatment or documentation review takes place.

The nature and purpose of the treatment, realistic potential benefits, known and possible risks, reasonable alternatives, your right to decline, and the chance to ask questions.

Yes. Medical terms are explained in plain language, and you can ask for any point to be clarified or repeated before moving forward.

Interpretation support can be arranged so language is not a barrier to understanding your treatment plan or the consent materials.

Depending on the condition, potential benefits may include reduced pain or inflammation, improved function or mobility, support for tissue repair, and a better overall quality of life.

No. Outcomes are individualized and vary from patient to patient. No ethical provider can guarantee a specific result from stem cell therapy.

Your care team discusses realistic, condition-specific expectations rather than general claims, based on your diagnosis and treatment plan.

Possible risks include infection at the injection or infusion site, pain or localized swelling, allergic or immune reactions, lack of clinical improvement, and rare but serious complications depending on the treatment type.

Not always. Because regenerative medicine continues to evolve, some risks may not be fully understood yet; anything that is known will be discussed with you before treatment.

You are encouraged to report any unexpected symptoms or reactions promptly so the care team can assess and respond quickly.

Reasonable alternatives can include conventional medical or surgical treatment, physical therapy or rehabilitation, medication-based management, or watchful waiting with conservative care.

Yes. Your physician discusses whether an alternative option may better suit your specific condition before recommending stem cell therapy.

There is no blanket requirement; the right path depends on your diagnosis, prior treatment history, and how your case is clinically assessed.

Yes. Participation is entirely voluntary, and you can decline treatment at any point without pressure or obligation.

Yes, you can withdraw consent at any time before treatment begins, and your decision will be respected.

Yes. You're free to delay your decision, discuss it with family or advisors, and return to it when you're ready.

Yes, seeking a second opinion is your right and does not affect your ability to continue discussions with the Viezec care team.

It generally moves from medical evaluation and diagnostic review, through a discussion of benefits, risks and alternatives, to a question-and-answer session, review of written materials, and finally signing documentation.

It takes as long as needed for you to understand the information and get your questions answered — there is no fixed time limit before you're ready to decide.

Yes, all regenerative and stem cell–based treatments are conducted under the supervision of qualified medical professionals following established clinical protocols.

No. Medical suitability is determined by reviewing your medical records, current health status, and the nature of your condition.

Active infections, uncontrolled chronic illnesses, and other risk factors identified during clinical review may affect whether treatment is recommended.

You may be advised to postpone treatment or consider alternative care options until your condition is better suited to the proposed therapy.

Patients may be asked to take part in follow-up evaluations that assess clinical response, monitor for side effects, and address any concerns that come up.

Follow-up may include clinical check-ins, symptom assessments, and recommendations for supportive therapies such as physical rehabilitation or lifestyle changes.

You should report any unexpected symptoms or changes in your condition promptly to your care team so they can respond and adjust guidance if needed.

Viezec provides consultation, case evaluation, and patient support services in regenerative medicine; treatment itself is delivered by independent qualified medical professionals.

De-identified clinical data may be used internally for quality assurance and treatment optimisation, handled in line with applicable privacy and confidentiality standards; this does not replace formal research consent where that applies separately.

No. Consent materials and consultations avoid exaggerated claims or guaranteed outcomes, in keeping with honest communication about limitations and uncertainties.
