Stroke Stem Cell Treatment in Delhi, India

Stroke Stem Cell Treatment in Delhi, India

patients and families impacted by stroke. They have been able to help stroke patients regain a goal-oriented, rehabilitation-oriented pathway. The medical community understands that there are two broad types of stroke—ischemic and hemorrhagic. These two broad types of strokes impede nerve function and therefore do one of two things:

(1) either turn off nerve function to a body part (thus resulting in paralysis) or 

(2) the nerve function results in movement that is not appropriate, like improper speech or delusion. The principle is that blood is not flowing to the nerve that ultimately reaches the muscle; thus, no normal bodily function takes place. The downside is that the stroke occurred at the nerve level, and the damage cannot be reversed. The brain learns nothing in that area where no light was able to penetrate consciousness, similar to blinding any other sensory input.

The good news is stem cells do have the intelligence to regenerate and restore nerve function that allows for the opening of the blood vessel, so reconnecting the blood journey back to the nerve limb. Thus, stopping, if only temporarily, the effects of paralysis or improper nerve function through the body’s own regenerative capabilities. To this end, Cell Cure India has established a favorable model for stroke patients and injured or sick patients in general. So far, they have been able to have many patients with diseases that result in some form of total or partial paralysis start to walk again or regain upper body function. They have been able to change the trajectory of the patient’s rehabilitative pathway, for themselves and the community, at the same time realizing if they help one, they may help another in the process.

Symptoms of Stroke

Stroke symptoms should always be treated with the urgency and attention of emergency warning signs. Seeking medical help is critical, as time is of the essence and the risk of permanent damage increases the longer you wait for treatment. Typical symptoms of significant concern include sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arms, or legs (especially on one side of the body). Sudden loss of vision, loss of balance, loss of coordination, and loss of the ability to speak & understand language are also warning signs. Other symptoms include severe headaches, sudden confusion, dizziness, difficulty swallowing, nausea, vomiting, hiccups, and a brief loss of consciousness. Many of these symptoms often deteriorate very quickly, and therefore it is essential to be on the lookout for signs and to always recognize them for what they mean.

There are two types of strokes. The most common is ischemic stroke (around 80% of the cases). This type of stroke occurs when a clot or blockage develops in an artery that feeds the brain. Since brain cells require a regular supply of oxygen and nutrients through healthy blood flow, blockage creates a deficit of energy in the brain, and every cell connected will shut down and eventually die. The other type of stroke is hemorrhagic stroke, which occurs when a healthy blood vessel ruptures inside the brain. This can produce bleeding and pressure on the brain tissue by increasing the volume in brain space. This could be life-threatening if the ruptured artery is from hypertension, which compresses the brain against the skull and is an act of damage to critical functioning capability and is classified as brain damage.

In India, specialized hospitals treating stroke stem cell patients are developing more advanced therapies to generate repair.

Strokes are a category of emergency situations involving the brain when its blood supply is interrupted, which is a potentially threatening health complication. Strokes can fall into three categories:

• Ischemic strokes: These are the most prevalent type of stroke and develop when the brain’s arteries that supply blood become obstructed or narrowed. There are two types of ischemic strokes: thrombotic stroke, which forms from a clot in the brain’s own arteries, and embolic stroke, which comes from a clot that forms somewhere else in the body and travels to the brain. 
• Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): This type of stroke is also referred to as “mini-stroke” and develops when there is a short-term interruption in blood flow to the brain. Usually the symptoms of TIA last only minutes, and the symptoms are resolved in a day. However, TIA is usually a critical warning for future strokes.
• Hemorrhagic strokes: This type of stroke occurs if a blood vessel bursts/leaks in the brain. This causes additional pressure inside the skull, which floods surrounding brain cells and tissues with blood, killing them, often permanently. Once the bleeding occurs, statistically, it leads to permanent or severe impairment in at least 159 of the 301 individuals who experienced a stroke during the program evaluation.

Types of Stroke

Strokes are emergencies in which blood cannot reach the brain. There are 3 kinds of stroke that are classified as follows:

• Ischemic strokes, these happen when there is blockage or narrowing in the arteries that supply blood to the brain and blood cannot reach that area of the brain. Ischemic strokes are the most common types of strokes. There are two subtypes of ischemic strokes, which are 

1. thrombotic strokes (strokes that form at the arterial supply to the brain) and 
2. embolic strokes (those caused by blood clots at other locations in your body migrating to your brain).

• Transient ischemic attack: A transient ischemic attack is also sometimes referred to as a mini-stroke. It is a transient blockage in blood supply to your brain that usually lasts for several minutes and will resolve in less than 24 hours.
• Hemorrhagic strokes: These strokes happen when a blood vessel in your brain leaks or ruptures, which then goes on to exert too much pressure on your brain. When blood leaks into your brain space, it damages your brain cells and surfaces and causes harm.

Diagnosis of Stroke

The first thing that the doctor will do is examine the medical history of the patient. All standard exams will include looking at the blood vessels in the eyes, blood pressure, and pulse rate; identifying unusual sounds in the heart and prominent carotid arteries in the neck (potential sound of atherosclerosis—hardening of arteries); and identifying strength, sensation, and reflexes (good indicators of nerve health). Stroke stem cell treatment in India uses CT or MRI scans—these are the most important tests to diagnose stroke.

Treatment of Stroke

Recent studies have shown that umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into nerve cells, neovascularize (form blood vessels), immunomodulate when they are injected into the affected area, thereby alleviating symptoms and prolonging life, and so on. Steroids and other disease-modifying drugs cannot cover the full range of symptoms, and only management of numerous symptoms (corticosteroids) alone. Again, drugs are of course worrisome with respect to devastating side effects. With MSC treatment, there is no such worry.

FAQs

What are the main types of strokes?

The two broad types are ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot or blockage in an artery, and hemorrhagic stroke, caused by a ruptured blood vessel leading to bleeding in the brain.

How can stem cell therapy help stroke patients?

Stem cell therapy works by regenerating nerve cells, restoring blood flow, and repairing damaged tissue. This helps patients regain lost functions such as movement, balance, or speech.

Is stroke stem cell treatment available in Delhi?

Yes, specialized hospitals like Cell Cure India offer advanced stem cell therapies for stroke, helping patients recover mobility and improve quality of life.

Does stem cell therapy replace rehabilitation?

No, stem cell treatment complements traditional rehabilitation therapies. It can enhance recovery, but physiotherapy, speech therapy, and lifestyle changes remain essential for long-term progress.
