There is a common belief in India that brain/spine related and neurodegenerative disorders, which affect a child during birth cannot be fully treated. Similarly, other diseases like Cerebral Palsy and Autism were believed to be un-curable. Likewise, patients suffering from spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries were also not able to get sufficient treatment and had a poor quality of life. Most of the Indian population still does not have access to any kind of personal stem cell banking services. Neurodegenerative disorders including dementia, cerebral palsy, and others are still treated in India in many of the health care institutions through medications and rehabilitation programs that fail to address the root cause of the disease. Many people do not have any hope with regards to the outcomes of these treatments as the majority of neurodegenerative disorder patients fail to have a normal life. In this scenario, stem cell therapy brings in new treatment opportunities.

Neurogen Brain and Spine Institute (NGBSI) is located in Mumbai and offers stem cell treatment in India for patients from around 40 different countries. The institute has a world class stem cell bank, a lab and a team of dedicated therapists. Stem cell treatment is offered at NGBSI for diseases like Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Dementia, Muscular Dystrophy, Motor Neural Disease, Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, and TBI or Traumatic Brain Injury. Stem cells for the treatment are obtained from the donated umbilical cord and other parts of the donor body or from the bone marrow and other parts of the patient itself.

The institute not only undertakes successful stem cell treatment but also offers a complete
rehabilitation program for the patients who suffer from neurological disorders. Apart from neurosurgeons and neurologists, the patient also receives treatments and therapies from occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech therapist, neuro paediatric therapists, urologists, ophthalmologists, cardiologists, andrologists and ENT specialists, among other expert and highly qualified therapy providers. A dietitian provides the necessary dietary advice. At Neurogen, the comprehensive rehabilitative treatment approach addresses all the core aspects of neural disease symptoms and manifestations. The stem cells multiply, divide, replicate and differentiate to form the specialized mass of cells once they are transplanted into the patient’s body. With time they provide for the functions of neural cells, and also, secrete growth inducing chemicals that can repair the damaged neural tissues.

Talking to the media persons at the Neurogen stem cell treatment facility located in Mumbai, the spokesperson for the institute said “Till now no other treatment measure could provide for the treatment of the root cause of neurodegenerative diseases. Hence, the damage done was often irreversible. Stem cell treatment not only reverses the damage done and improves the quality of life of the patient, but it also provides for repair of the damaged neural cells. We aim to undertake deeper research into the area, and would also gain input from the stem cell researches that are now being done worldwide”.
