The term ‘neurological conditions’ include a wide range of disorders that impact the brain, the spinal cord, and the nervous system, for example, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease, stroke, spinal cord injuries, and even Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Before advancements in stem cell medicine, neurological conditions were considered degenerative and treatments only included drugs that attempted to reduce the symptoms. The damage caused to the neuron could not be fixed. However, stem cells have shown remarkable healing potential with the ability to reduce nerve cell deterioration, restore cell function, reduce inflammation, and even regrow new neurons.

Stem Cells and ALS
ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, affects motor neuron function in the body. This gradually causes total loss of control of muscle function. While there is no other cure, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are being used to treat ALS patients.

Mesenchymal stem cell transplants are able to stimulate the production of T regulatory stem cells and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Both of these modulate the immune system, which helps to slow down and even reverse the progression of ALS symptoms.

Stem Cells and Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s disease a common neurological condition that causes the loss and degeneration of neurons, resulting in delays in movement, reaction, and general coordination.

Anti-inflammatory properties of MSCs can help patients of Parkinson’s symptoms by showing improvements in symptoms, such as facial expression, gait and freezing episodes, and tremors.

Stem Cells and Stroke

A stroke is usually caused when a blood vessel within the brain is obstructed. This can cause oxygen deprivation, and damage to nerve cells.

Mesenchymal stem cells hold the potential to promote healing and growth of neurons, protecting them from cell death. Stem cell treatments have shown significant improvements in symptoms and quality of life after treatment.

Stem Cells and Spinal Cord Injuries

Mesenchymal stem cells can restore impaired neural function after a spinal cord injury. The anti-inflammatory effects allow the body to heal naturally, while the stem cells restore cell function. Most patients are able to regain sensation and even mobility with stem cell treatments after suffering a spinal cord injury.

Stem Cells and Brain Damage

Athletes playing contact sports often suffer a Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI. A severe blow to the head may permanently impair brain function. This may further lead to cognition loss, negative impact to motor functions, and even early death. MSCs can produce growth factors that are critical to neural development. Patients with TBI can benefit from stem cell treatments to protect the neurons in and promote neural function restoration, even improving blood flow to the brain.
