Our stem cell treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) involves placing allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells directly into your body to reset the immune system and stop it from attacking the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord by reducing inflammation and improving the overall proper functioning of improve your brain.

Depending on the prognosis and stage of the disease, most doctors will attempt to manage the progression of the condition with medications. However, stem cell therapy has proven to be a viable treatment for the ailment. Stem cell therapy emphasizes preventing damage to the immune system and repairing damage already incurred by protecting neurons and regenerating myelin.
While various medications have attempted to regenerate myelin, none have effectively worked to protect neurons. Stem cells may offer a potential cure, as, as many are aware, there is currently no cure for multiple sclerosis.

All our stem cell treatments in Istanbul are assessed and administered by specialists in the field, trained in the United States and Turkey, and not solely by general practitioners. We do this to ensure the highest level of precision, understanding of the condition and quality of treatment for our patients. We are 100% open and honest with our patients. Not everyone is eligible for our stem cell treatments.
We decline treatment for many patients after our specialist reviews their current health and medical history and determines that treatment is unsuitable. This avoids false promises or expectations when the risks outweigh the benefits. For this reason, and to ensure patient safety in all our treatments, each patient is assessed by the specialist before they can plan their treatment.
