Stem cell treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD)
Parkinson's disease (PD) directly affects the brain cells responsible for dopamine production; these cells can be damaged or lost completely.
Our stem cell treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) involves placing allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells directly into the patient's body to help repair or replace the nerve cells that produce dopamine, as well as any other neurological damage that occurs during the disease incurred. Our treatment can reduce inflammation and limit the overall proper functioning of the patient's brain.
The benefits of stem cell treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) can vary from patient to patient depending on many factors, including current health status, medical history, degree of damage, and other factors. It is important to understand that although the use of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cell injections for damaged brain tissue and nerve cells has shown some of the highest effectiveness in treating this condition, patients undergoing this treatment should not harbor a false expectation of a guaranteed cure.
How is our stem cell transplant for Parkinson's (PD) performed in Istanbul?
With stem cell therapy, the progression of Parkinson's disease can be slowed, reversed, and even completely halted. The success rate of the treatment is directly related to the patient's age, the duration of the disease, and the patient's overall condition. As a result of muscle improvement, the patient's quality of life significantly increases. The treatment of Parkinson's disease with stem cells is recognized as a novel method currently being researched by scientists.
Stem cells have the ability to transform into brain cells when they come into contact with damaged brain cells. Therefore, stem cells are utilized in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The number of cells to be administered is determined based on the patient's age and weight. Treatment is conducted in either 3 sessions spaced 45 days apart or over 3 consecutive days.
The treatment protocol is precisely tailored to the patient's condition, with a different protocol applied to each individual patient. The size of the administered stem cells is small enough to penetrate brain cells, significantly increasing the success rate of treatment in cases of early diagnosis. Previous studies have reported a very high percentage of positive results with stem cell therapy.
This treatment significantly prevented progression to further stages of the disease in 74% of patients and aided in resolving the existing serious condition.

Frequently asked questions
Can stem cell therapy cure my Parkinson's disease (PD)?

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 Parkinson's disease (PD)?
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.
