Stem Cell Therapy for Asthma

Asthma is the disease of the lungs and airways narrowing, which results in alterations of breathing patterns in the patients. Asthma is traditionally treated with different medications and avoidance of the triggering stimulus. Stem Cell Therapy can provide exceptional management for Asthma by regeneration of the damaged lung tissue and immune system stimulation.

Asthma is a lung disease that causes the narrowing and inflammation of the airways, making it harder for an individual to breathe. In a severe Asthma attack, a person can have difficulty being active or talking. Asthma is also referred to as Bronchial Asthma, which affects 1.6 million individuals in the US.

The causative agents of Asthma can be different diseases and environmental triggers, which can cause infections and narrowing of the airways. The most common triggers are sinusitis, medications, weather, smoke, allergies, food, and exercise.

Airway muscles spasms

Swelling and inflammation of the airways mucosal membranes

High concentration of mucus inside the lungs, airways, and linings

Risk factors make an individual more prone to respiratory problems and Asthma. The most common risk factors are:

Gender: childhood asthma more prevalent among boys than the girls

Family history of asthma

Different allergies have a potent link with the asthma

Environmental factors as cigarette smoke, industrial waste, and pollen allergies

Wheezing sound or whistling sound while breathing

SOB (shortness of breath)

Pressure and [ain in the chest while breathing

Coughing (more specifically at night time)

Not every individual with Asthma suffers from the same symptoms. All of the symptoms can have different intensities and symptoms in different individuals. Asthma attacks are recurrent episodes of periodic worsening of asthma symptoms. Asthma can be triggered in times of high physical activity, depression, and viral infections.

THE TREATMENT JOURNEY

Most of the time, Asthma is treatable via the use of medications (long-acting and short-acting medications).

Inhalers: inhalers are for the ease of Asthma symptoms. These devices of medications can help me relax the tightened muscles around the airways.

Other than the inhaler drugs, more medications for Asthma include:

Oral corticosteroids

Combination of quick-relief medications

Short-acting beta-agonists

Anticholinergics

Inhaled corticosteroids

Inhaled long-acting beta-agonists

Biologics tend to target the cells of proteins responsible for inflammation in the body

Leukotriene modifiers

Long-acting bronchodilator medications

Cromolyn helps in preventing the swelling of the airways

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.

Stem Cell Therapy works based on MSCs (Mesenchymal Stem Cells) to stimulate the immune system. Even in the cases of Severe Bronchial Asthma, Stem Cell Therapy can help in lung tissue regeneration which can help reduce attacks and their intensity. Stem Cells are the progenitor cells that are capable of differentiating into any cell type. After different processing procedures, Stem Cells are injected into the targeted area to achieve the required action.

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

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 Asthma with Stem Cells consists of four phases:

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.

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.

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

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

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 Asthma. 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 Asthma 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.

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 Asthma

Generally, Stem Cell Therapy has a satisfactory safety profile, good prognosis, and effectiveness.

However, no medical procedure is 100% safe; so, the most frequent or common risk factors of SCT can be:

Lethargy and fatigue

Painful injection area /site

Allergic reactions

Bleeding from the site of injection

Fever

Fever, lethargy, and pain are managed through the appropriate drugs along with the treatment. 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 Asthma. 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 of Asthma.

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

To assess your expected results, we would like to know more about you.

A medical advisor will talk to you about your diagnosis and treatment options and collect information for the attending physician; they can answer all your initial questions:

Will the therapy work for my case?

What does the treatment involve? Is it painful?

Is it expensive? How much does it cost?
