Symptoms/Complications For ASD individuals
- Social communication and interaction
- Co-occurring conditions
- Intellectual functioning
- Few or no big smiles
- Limited eye contact
- Very few or no words
- Difficulty understanding other feelings
- Repetitive behaviors
- Unusual and intense reactions to sensory stimuli
Remember that each person with ASD is unique, and their experiences and challenges can differ. Early intervention, therapy, and support play crucial roles in helping individuals with ASD thrive and lead fulfilling lives
What Is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication. The disorder also includes limited and repetitive patterns of behavior.
What are the advantages of treating Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with Allogeneic Umbilical Cord Tissue-derived Stem Cells ?
There is no requirement to undergo the process of collecting stem cells from the patient’s hip bone or fat under anesthesia, which can be uncomfortable experience, particularly for smaller children and their parents.
There is a growing body of evidence showing that umbilical cord tissue-derived (HUCT) mesenchymal stem cells are more robust than mesenchymal stem cells from other sources.
There is no requirement to use chemotherapy drugs such as granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF or GCSF) to prompt the bone marrow to generate granulocytes and stem cells and to release them into the bloodstream.
Umbilical cord tissue is a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells.
What Causes Autism Spectrum Disorder ?
The exact cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is still unknown. However, research suggests that a combination of genetic and environmental factors play a role in its development. Some potential factors that may contribute to the development of ASD include genetic mutations, advanced parental age at the time of conception, certain medications and chemicals, and complications during birth. It’s important to note that these factors are not definite causes and further research is needed to fully understand the causes of ASD.
What is the importance on Regenerative Therapy for Autism?
The rationale behind using stem cell therapy for autism is that stem cells may help modulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and stimulate regeneration and repair of neurons in the brain. Some small studies have shown improvements in behavior, communication, and gastrointestinal function after treatment. However, the studies overall had limitations such as small sample sizes, lack of control groups, and differences in treatment protocols.
FAQs
Stem Cell Therapy introduces stem cells into the body, through intravenous infusion or other delivery methods. These stem cells have the potential to differentiate into neural cells and release growth factors that may help repaired damaged neural circuits in the brain. The therapy aims to reduce inflammation, and improve overall brain function.
Our studies suggest that Regenerative Therapy may help improve social communications skills, reduce repetitive behaviors, enhance cognitive abilities, and improve overall quality of like for individuals with ASD
Although Regenerative Therapy does not cure diseases but rather assists in their treatment, it is being investigated as a potential therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It has shown promising outcomes; however, it is crucial to recognize that this is still active research and we are aiming at improving the lives of individuals with this unique disorder.
You may be wondering if you or a loved one is a good candidate for a stem cell transplant or cellular therapy procedure. Only your healthcare team can make the final determination. Our expert transplantation team works with you to determine your candidacy. The evaluation process includes many tests. Contact us if you have any questions.
Stem cell therapy has shown positive results in treating autism in various research studies and clinical trials worldwide. While it may not be universally approved as a therapy, it is currently approved for research purposes in the USA. It is worth noting that stem cell therapy has potential applications in treating other diseases as well. In our research institute, in addition to Autism, we found tremendous success on various case studies on degenerative diseases such Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Joint Problems, COPD, Liver Disease, Heart Disease, Autoimmune disorders such as Dermatomyositis, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Graves Disease, Hashimoto Thyroiditis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn Disease, Ulcerative Colitis), Multiple Sclerosis, Myasthenia Gravis, Sjögren Syndrome, Type I Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and other Arthritis, etc.
Clinical Evidence Around the World
Safety and Improved Abilities
This patient was a 5 year-old boy that weighed 15 kg and was 98 cm tall. At the age of 18 months, the call response, eye contact and concentration significantly fell behind those of children of the same age. He was diagnosed with ASD at the University Hospital, Department of Pediatric Psychiatry when 18 months old. He had prior been treated at a psychiatric ward, oriental medical clinic and a special education center.
A total of 6 intravenous injections of UC-MSCs were performed from November 22 2019 to January 8, 2020. Before the UC-MSCs transplantation, the patient couldn’t have social contact, made no eye contact and was not showing affection to his parents. After the treatment, sociality increased by associating with peers, and physical ability and emotional response improved. There was an improvement in verbal and non-verbal communication ability as well as sensory abnormalities
