Stem cell medicine offers exciting possibilities but it also has clear, evidence-based limits. On this page we explain realistic outcomes, current regulatory and scientific boundaries
and how Viezec assesses whether a patient is a suitable candidate for treatment. Our goal: transparent, safe care grounded in clinical best practice.

Stem cell therapy is a groundbreaking field of regenerative medicine, but it is equally important to understand its current limitations. At Viezec, we believe in setting realistic expectations for patients and their families. While treatment can improve quality of life, reduce symptoms, and in some cases restore lost functions, it is not a guaranteed cure for every disease. By knowing both the strengths and limitations, patients can make informed decisions about their healthcare journey.
Stem cell therapy shows the best results for specific conditions such as neurological disorders, orthopedic injuries, and certain degenerative diseases. However, it is not effective for every illness. Chronic conditions that have advanced beyond repair, or diseases with complex genetic roots, may not respond well. This is why condition-specific evaluation is essential before recommending therapy.
The use of stem cells is strictly guided by national and international regulations. Only therapies proven safe through clinical research are offered. This ensures patients receive treatments that meet medical standards, but it also means that many experimental approaches are not yet available outside of controlled studies.
Every patient is unique. Factors such as age, stage of disease, medical history, and overall health can influence how well stem cell therapy works. While some patients experience significant improvement,
others may see only modest benefits. Our team sets expectations clearly during the initial consultation.
Stem cell therapy is often most effective when combined with other treatments such as physical therapy,
medication, and lifestyle modifications. A holistic treatment plan is essential to maximize results and improve long-term outcomes.
At Viezec, transparency is at the heart of our approach. We provide patients with clear information
about what stem cell therapy can and cannot achieve — ensuring that every decision is informed, safe,
and guided by the latest scientific evidence.
While stem cell therapy has shown promise for many degenerative and chronic conditions, it is not equally effective across all medical cases. Scientific studies and our clinical experience highlight areas where results may be modest, temporary, or uncertain. Being transparent about these helps patients make informed choices and avoid false expectations.
Conditions such as advanced Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, or late-stage ALS have complex brain
changes that stem cells cannot fully repair. In such cases, therapy may help with symptom management,
but restoring lost functions is not yet possible. Patients are guided toward supportive therapies alongside stem cells to improve quality of life.
For diseases caused by deep-rooted genetic mutations, stem cells cannot “fix” the DNA error. While research in gene editing is progressing, currently available stem cell therapies mainly focus on reducing complications, not reversing the root cause.
In cases of complete liver, kidney, or heart failure, stem cell therapy cannot replace organ transplantation. At best, it may slow progression or support tissue repair, but it is not a substitute for critical surgical interventions. Patients are encouraged to explore integrated care options.
Autoimmune diseases like lupus or multiple sclerosis have unpredictable immune activity. Stem cells may help regulate the immune response, but results vary widely between patients. Continuous monitoring and complementary medical care are essential for these cases.
Our team at Viezec provides personalized consultations to assess whether stem cell therapy is a suitable option, and we are transparent about situations where it may not deliver expected outcomes.
Stem cell treatments operate within a framework of strict medical regulations and ethical guidelines. These standards are in place to protect patients, ensure safety, and maintain the credibility of regenerative medicine worldwide. At Viezec, we adhere to approved protocols only, never offering unproven or unsafe interventions.
We follow all guidelines issued by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and other
international regulatory bodies. This ensures that therapies meet established scientific standards before
reaching patients. Learn more about stem cell regulation

All stem cells used in our treatments are obtained through ethical, approved sources. We do not engage in any practices that raise concerns regarding donor consent or legality. Patient trust is built on transparency and integrity.
Unfortunately, some providers worldwide make exaggerated or false promises about stem cell therapy.
Viezec stands against such practices. We offer only clinically supported treatments, and our team communicates realistic outcomes with every patient.
By placing patient safety first and following strict ethical standards, Viezec ensures that every treatment
provided is both safe and responsible. For detailed guidance, contact our experts today.
Not every patient is an ideal candidate for stem cell therapy. Careful eligibility assessment ensures safety,
optimises outcomes, and avoids unnecessary interventions. Below we describe the assessment process, common
eligibility criteria, and important contraindications.
Every candidate undergoes a step-by-step evaluation that typically includes medical history review, physical
examination, laboratory testing, imaging (if required), and specialist consultations. This process helps our
multidisciplinary team determine whether stem cell therapy is appropriate, and if so, which protocol is safest
and most likely to provide benefit.
Certain conditions may make stem cell therapy unsafe or unlikely to help. These include:
Where possible, we optimise patients before therapy — controlling infections, adjusting medications, and
coordinating physiotherapy or nutritional support. This pre-treatment optimisation reduces risks and improves
the likelihood of a positive outcome.
We involve patients and families in every decision. Our team explains alternatives, realistic outcomes, potential
risks, and follow-up commitments. Informed consent is obtained only after the patient fully understands the plan.
If you’re unsure about eligibility, our clinical team offers a thorough pre-assessment to guide you — contact us for a personalised review.
Stem cell therapy is a powerful tool in modern medicine, but it is not a miracle cure. Understanding its boundaries ensures patients and families approach treatment with realistic expectations, informed consent, and greater trust. Below are the most important points to remember:
At Viezec, our mission is to provide transparent, ethical, and evidence-based care.
By understanding both the possibilities and the limits of stem cell therapy, patients can make confident, informed healthcare choices.
No. Stem cell therapy can help manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and sometimes restore
lost functions, but it is not a universal cure. Effectiveness depends on the specific condition,
its stage, and the patient’s overall health.
Outcomes vary because every patient is different. Age, disease progression, medical history,
and rehabilitation efforts after therapy all influence results. Our team carefully reviews eligibility
before recommending treatment.
Yes. Unregulated or unapproved treatments can expose patients to infections, unsafe procedures,
or unproven methods. At Viezec, we strictly follow regulatory guidelines to ensure safety.
In some cases, a single therapy session may provide benefits. However, many conditions require follow-up treatments, supportive medications, or physical rehabilitation to maintain long-term improvements.
Eligibility depends on a complete evaluation of your medical condition, history, and expectations.
You can request an eligibility assessment with our team to determine the best treatment options.
Understanding the limitations of stem cell therapy is the first step toward making an informed choice.
