Stem Cell Therapy For Allergic Rhinitis (AR)

Stem Cell Therapy For Allergic Rhinitis

About Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic Rhinitis (AR) is the condition or allergy which involves the nose and sinuses causing different symptoms which can irritate a patient. Until now, there has been only symptom management of the disease, but an absolute treatment is still required. Stem Cell Therapy is the best alternative treatment for patients who are not benefiting from traditional treatments.

What is Allergic Rhinitis?

Allergic Rhinitis (AR) is the allergic response of the individual to specific allergens. An allergen is somehow a harmless substance that can elicit an allergic response. More than eight per cent of the individuals in the US are suffering from allergic rhinitis and 10-30 percent of the world population has cases of AR.

What causes Allergic Rhinitis?
The most frequent causes for AR are:

  • Contact with the allergens which causes the release of histamine (a natural chemical) to cause allergic rhinitis and different symptoms.

  • In addition to the other causes, other pathogens may include molds, animal dander, dust mites, and grass pollen.

  • During the specific season of the year, pollen can generate a serious problem for some patients. Flower and tree pollens have more growth frequency in spring which can increase the ratio of pollen allergy.

What are the risk factors for Allergic Rhinitis?

The most common risk factors for AR are external factors as:

  • Humidity and wind

  • Air pollution

  • Cigarettes smoke and chemicals

  • Cold temperatures and wood smoke

  • Fumes, colognes, and perfumes

What are the Allergic Rhinitis symptoms?

The most prevalent symptoms of AR are:

  • Stuffy and runny nose

  • Itchiness and sneezing

  • Coughing and scratchy throat

  • Frequent episodes of headaches

  • Watery eyes

  • Hives and excessive fatigue

  • Eczema (blistering, dryness, itchiness, and weeping)

The intensity and variety of the symptoms may occur differently in different patients. In case of high allergens exposure, the patient can feel more diverse symptoms of the allergy.

THE TREATMENT JOURNEY

How is Allergic Rhinitis commonly treated?

The traditional approach to treat Allergic Rhinitis is:

  • Medications – antihistamines as desloratadine, fexofenadine, levocetirizine, diphenhydramine, cetirizine

  • Decongestants as phenylephrine, pseudoephedrine, and oxymetazoline

  • Nasal sprays and eye drops along with corticosteroids

  • Immunotherapy 

  • SLIT (Sublingual immunotherapy)

  • Probiotics, acupuncture, honey, butterbur supplements, and irrigation with the nasal saline

What Is Stem Cell Therapy?

Stem Cells are the natural repair process of your body parts. SCs are present in our fat cells, bone marrow cells and in this case, we use Mesenchymal Stem Cells from donor cord blood. If you place the SCs over the area of damage, then these cells can lead to the activation of new and healthy cells. This healing process is what our body needs. Stem Cell Therapy helps boost body repair mechanisms and introduces the new stem cells.

How can Stem Cells Therapy treat Allergic Rhinitis?

The current traditional treatment for AR is not appropriate to amend the root cause of the problem. Mesenchymal Stem Cells have different properties which can differentiate into different factors and cell lineages. MSCs can migrate to the injury site and help in modulating the different immune responses in the body. MSCs secrete the factors which are crucial for the proliferation and survival of the cells. Immunosuppressive properties, capacity to repair tissues and secretion of different biological factors make the MSCs a vital component of treatment for Allergic Rhinitis. 

How is the treatment at The Renue Medical Centre different?

The Stem Cell Therapy (SCT) at The Renue Medical Centre is a holistic approach to treating Allergic Rhinitis. 

Your Renue Journey does not end after your last day of SCT. We follow up with you to assert your progress, since the treatment for Allergic Rhinitis with Stem Cells consists of four phases:

  1. Pre-treatment: clinical evaluation, lab test results, and other diagnostic procedures. You will take our Renue Epigenetic Test powered by TruDiagnostics that will assert your biological age and other important health markers. Your TruDiagnostics test is part of The Renue Difference. It provides your doctor with critical information about your health and your true age (biological vs chronological).

    After the epigenetic test and we have received all your medical records, your Patient Advisor will assist you in planning your travel to Puerto Vallarta.

  2. Treatment day: the treatment starts with taking a specific amount of blood through apheresis. After taking the Stem Cells, the rest of the blood is returned to the donor.

  3. 30, 60 & 90 days post-treatment follow up: AR symptoms clinical evaluation, flare-up frequency, and lab test results.

  4. 6 months post-treatment: AR symptoms clinical evaluation, flare-up frequency, lab test results, X-ray report, and review of the diagnostic criteria.

EXPECTED RESULTS 

SCT to live a better life: Benefits and outcomes

The effectiveness of Stem Cell Treatment can improve all your symptoms, causing a considerable impact on your quality of life and daily activities.

As part of The Renue Difference, you will receive three Hyperbaric Chamber sessions that greatly improve SCT efficacy and stimulate the body cells to combat Allergic Rhinitis. These sessions comprise three days: one day before treatment, after treatment, and on the day of treatment.

According to results, clinical outcomes, and pre-and post-treatment observations, SCT has been shown to help

  • Reduce Allergic Rhinitis progression

  • Speed up tissue repair

  • Regrow and repair tissues after six months

After the SCT procedure, an MRI test depicts the further need for the treatment at a specific body site.

Talk to our Patient Advisor to know more about SCT at The Renue Medical Centre.

Expected results and prognosis:

With the treatment of stem cell therapy, the patient will experience significant improvement in the overall symptoms of the disease after one session.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

What are the risk associated with Stem Cell Therapy for Allergic Rhinitis?

The most common and mild side-effects of stem cells therapy for AR are:

  • Lethargy and fatigue

  • Painful injection area /site

  • Allergic reactions

  • Fever

  • Bleeding from the site of injection

Management of risks:

Fever, lethargy, and pain are managed through the appropriate drugs along with the treatment. Pre-treatment education can help with awareness of slight side effects of the therapy. Bleeding and swelling of the injured site are manageable via proper technique. Allergic reactions are preventable through pre-injection history and care.

The Stem Cell Therapy is a new and promising method of treating Allergic Rhinitis. It has the potential to be more effective than previous methods and also carries less risk. At present, stem cell technology is still in the developmental stage, but rapid developments and advances indicate its potential uses in direct treatments for Allergic Rhinitis. 

The benefits and effects of Stem Cell Therapy depend on several factors: the patient's health condition, underlying issues, lifestyle, and others.
