Famous people such as actor Michael J. Fox, Evangelist Billy Graham, and boxer Muhammad Ali are just a few of those who are known to suffer from Parkinson's disease. In recent years, it is estimated that even in the United States alone, one million people are suffering from such a progressive state that affects brain, nerve, body movement. Michael J. Fox himself has actively supported people's education and funding research to find the cure of the disease. Due to recent scientific progress, one of the most promising treatments for this disease is stem cell therapy.
I do not know the exact cause of why people develop this condition. Most scientists and researchers tell that the loss of nerve cells in the brain responsible for the production of dopamine is a link to this disease. Environmental factors such as genetics and other viruses and toxic substances are additional factors contributing to the reduction of dopamine production in the brain and it is possible that a wrong signal may be sent to the body.
Individuals suffering from Parkinson's disease suffer from experiencing exercise, exercise, limbs, tremors of the face. Difficulties in balancing the body, swallowing food and defecating food are also symptoms of this condition. Patients may face changes in memory, concentration difficulties, depression, unstable mood.
However, in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, not everything is lost. Today, there are several effective treatments for this condition. One of them is stem cell therapy. Although it is not a routine clinical procedure, many medical companies and researchers have the potential to pool resources and time to look for treatment.
Basically, the process or method of treatment is to replace the dead cells of the brain with other identical cells. In some cases, stem cells collected from a healthy placenta of a newborn. After it has undergone several procedures, these stem cells are injected under the skin and closely monitored. The human body generally accepts the presence of these replacement cells within several hours and marked improvement and slowdown of disease progression is observed even if not one day.
According to Dr. Omar Gonzales, founder of the Integra Medical Center, 80% of the total number of patients receiving stem cell therapy is seeing improvement in symptoms. The patient returns to normal condition, in this case returning to Parkinson's disease self. Balance, Adjustment, Improvement of walking, Improvement of spiritual transparency, Decrease of rigidity and rigidity.
However, there is a need for more research on how to continuously produce this kind of cells needed to enhance the production of dopamine. What kind of stem cells are most effective? Why are these stem cells most effective in treating certain disorders, as there are so many types of stem cells in the human body, such as placenta, blood, bone marrow, retina or skin cells?
Another challenge for researchers is how to derive the source of cells to be developed, cultured and maintained in the laboratory to become dopamine neurons. The moment the answer to these questions is found, it is more likely that this treatment will have a major impact in dealing with this neurodegenerative disease.
State of the art innovation and ongoing research on whether stem cell therapy is more effective and stable in the treatment of Parkinson's disease is being conducted. Due to the positive result of this treatment, many patients suffering from this disease can face the future without fear.
