Stem cell treatment for Occipital neuralgia
Occipital neuralgia is a neck condition characterized by pain or discomfort in the neck or skull, usually due to reduced blood flow to the heart. This condition can occur due to various factors such as nerve irritation and other health-related causes. Occipital neuralgia can affect people of different ages and has significant consequences for their overall well-being. Our stem cell treatment for Occipital Neuralgia involves direct administration of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells to address the underlying causes of this condition and improve cardiovascular health. This can lead to an improvement in quality of life and a reduction in the symptoms of Occipital Neuralgia.

How is our stem cell treatment for occipital neuralgia performed in Istanbul?
Our stem cell treatments for Ischemic Cardiomyopathy utilize carefully obtained allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells that have undergone cryopreservation, resulting in a viability of over 97% at the time of transplantation. We combine this stem cell therapy with platelet-rich plasma to achieve optimal functional properties and promote the recovery process. This treatment process adheres to the highest standards, including Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), national and international standards of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB), and the official Turkish standards in line with the General Health Law. It is the most effective process available in Istanbul.

Discuss your situationHow does our stem cell treatment for occipital neuralgia work?
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 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.

For patients with Occipital Neuralgia, our specialist will need to know the patient's age and previous medical treatments. In addition, he will need to review the test results you will be asked to provide.

Once the specialist has reviewed the medical records and confirmed your suitability, we will present treatment options and pricing. We also offer a free telephone consultation to discuss your questions and concerns.

Frequently asked questions
How is my suitability assessed?
Medical assessment comes before treatment planning. Share your diagnosis, current symptoms, medication, previous treatments and available test results. The specialist considers potential benefits, risks and alternatives. Further assessment may be needed, and treatment may not be appropriate.
Which risks and side effects should I discuss?
Risks depend on the cell product, the administration method and your health. Ask the doctor to explain possible side effects and complications, how they would be managed and whom to contact after returning home. Injections and infusions are not risk-free.
Can Stem Cell Therapy Cure My Occipital Neuralgia?
An improvement in symptoms is different from a cure. Whether stem cell therapy is a reasonable option for you depends on your diagnosis, previous treatment and the evidence for the proposed protocol. Discuss realistic goals and how progress would be measured; an individual outcome cannot be guaranteed.
Describe which daily activities are difficult and which changes you want to discuss. A clear baseline helps track progress.
How effective is this stem cell treatment for Occipital Neuralgia?
Potential outcomes vary between people and treatment protocols. Your assessment should cover specific goals, the available research and the remaining uncertainties. Agree on when and how results will be assessed. Another patient’s experience cannot reliably predict your own outcome.
