Stem cell treatment for Parkinson’s disease is different from other standard treatments that does not uses medicines, drugs or devices in fact the treatment is done by making physical changes in the brain of patient that improves the quality of patient’s life. The stem cell treatments are more effective than any other treatments that exist for Parkinson’s disease.
At a research center over sixty percent patients were reported improvements when treated by stem cells. A treatment called as lumbar puncture is been used to treat patient’s of Parkinson’s disease which allows the stem cells to be inserted in to the cerebrospinal fluid that is later transferred in to the brain and spinal canal. The procedure of lumbar puncture is little long and the patient may be required to visit the centre more than four or five times.
The stem cell procedure replaces new and healthy cells against the diseased or dead cells, resulting in much better functioning. To achieve this, the stem cells need to be planned exactly the same as needed for the treatment of the patients. This process has to be done carefully as the case may get critical. Parkinson’s disease in a broader way is defined as the deterioration of neurons (cells in brain) and a chemical released by the action of these cells called as dopamine. The decline of these cells and dopamine causes the brain to send delayed signals to various body parts.
Studies on the embryonic growth of the central nervous system has revealed that 2 genes named as Msx1 and Lmx1a play a vital role in the creation of cerebral dopamine cells. The studies pertaining to the stem cell treatment have proved that stem cells help in the formation of neurons that produce dopamine in a very effective way and the process is safe.
