What should I expect to experience during the stem cell treatment?
Q&A
Generally speaking, the patient won't feel any discomfort during the stem cell treatment, and their neural functioning will improve gradually. Only a small number of patients (less than 10%) develop a minor fever, headache, nausea, or vomiting. But these reactions won't last more than 3 days and they will be controlled in a short amount of time.

Is stem cell treatment safe? Is it really effective?
Q&A
We use systemic safety evaluations to control the safety of the stem cell treatment: We started the safety evaluation of stem cell treatment 10 years ago, with a study group of 30 volunteers who participated. Currently, all 30 volunteers are still in perfect health and to date, since 2005, we have treated over 1,000 patients using the stem cell treatment and there has been no single case of major observed safety problems or complications after the stem cell implantation procedure, although there can be some minor side effects associated with the treatment such as headaches or muscle weakness, these can be easily overcome in a short amount of time.
Our doctors are very familiar with the biological nature of stem cells and we can guarantee the safety of the treatment throughout the entire procedure. Strict safety regulations are put in place, for the production of the stem cells, for the quality control of the stem cells prior to implantation, to the strict monitoring after the implantation, and finally in regards to the patient's follow up, every detail is scrutinized and the guidelines strictly adhered to.

Stem Cell Treatments Improve Heart Function After Heart Attack
News
Stem cell therapy moderately improves heart function after a heart attack, according to a systematic review published in The Cochrane Library. But the researchers behind the review say larger clinical trials are needed to establish whether this benefit translates to a longer life.

UM researcher to test stem cell treatment for Alzheimer's
News
Buoyed by early results of stem cell-based trials on patients with Lou Gehrig's disease, Eva Feldman, M.D., co-director of the A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute at the University of Michigan Medical School, is now taking aim at a far bigger target: Alzheimer's disease.

Stem cell treatment goes from lab to operating room
News
Imagine having your back cut open, part of your spine removed, a stabilizing device that resembles a mini oil rig mounted on your back, the outer membrane of your spinal cord sliced open and experimental stem cells injected into it -- all for the advancement of science because it's not expected to benefit you.

Stem cell treatment for encephalitis
News
Encephalitis is a kind of infection of the central nervous system caused by a virus, germ or parasite. Patients will have sequela of encephalitis because of the damage/degeneration of the nervous system. The main symptoms include motor disturbance, dysphasia, seizure and intelligence deficit.
