Stem Cells Treatments for Stroke
Many studies
have reported that with the modern technology, it is now possible to treat
massive diseases such as stroke with the help of patient’s own stem cells with
more feasibility and safety. It has as well been reported that all the
patients, who were involved in clinical studies very well tolerated the
procedure with no complications, all the patients showed variable improvements,
which was confirmed with the help of MRI and CT scan and lastly throughout the
study, no signs of tumours or blood vessel malformation detected.
Similar proof of
concept trials has concluded complete safety and feasibility of stem cells
treatment; as a possible alternative option in demand for many deadly
conditions such as stroke. Till date, conditions such as stroke or paralysis
were treated to be ultimate conditions; people have to stay with rest of their
lives. But with the advent of stem cells technology, the scenario took a swift
u turn towards a new path of hope and wellness. Many ongoing clinical studies,
such as the one listed above, have confirmed the rationale to motivate many
scientists, who are actually working on the development of stem cells, based therapies.
Stem cells are
the youngest cells observed in human development and are responsible for giving
rise to all the trillions of cells in human body. These cells have the
tremendous power of self multiplication and regeneration without losing its
ability over the period of time. All
these exclusive properties collectively signify them as very special candidates
that can solve major health issues; which are troubling mankind currently.
Stroke is a
condition displaying obstruction in the flow of blood towards the brain due to
either blood clot or blood vessel damage. Brain cells are in constant demand of
oxygen to survive and work more efficiently. Without a supply of oxygenated
blood, there may be a huge neuronal cells death, halting the passage of
information from brain to leading organs of the body. This may lead to unwanted
consequences such as paralysis; making people be completely dependent for the
rest of their lives.
With the help of
stem cells based therapies, it is technically possible to infuse enriched stem
cells either from autologous as well as allogenic donor, to initiate new blood
vessel formation, reduce the inflammation and regenerate the damaged cells to
restore back the brain function to significant levels.
Thus, stem cells treatment for stroke
can be a viable option to activate or energize weakened or dead neurons to gain
control over lost functions after stroke attack.
