Remarkable Effect of SCT treatment for HSP

Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a degenerative disease of nervous system. How to manage the HSP? Now we are talking about this topic.
I. Goal for the Treatment of HSP
The goal for the treatment of HSP is to relieve the high muscle tone, improve the motor dysfunction, inhibit the progression and prevent the relevant complications.
II. Clinical manifestation:
HSP occurs most often in childhood and puberty, and other ages are also available. Male is more likely to be affected. Usually people have positive hereditary history for this disease.
How to manage the HSP? People with HSP will suffer from a progressive spastic myasthenia in both their lower limbs, high muscle tone, sthenic tendon reflex activity, knee and ankle clonus, X-walk and so on. The complications may include optic atrophy, pigmentary degeneration of retina, extrapyramidal system symptoms, cerebellar ataxia, disturbance of sensation, mental retardation, epicophosis (deaf), amyotrophia, autonomic nervous dysfunction. Talipes may occur as well.
III. Auxiliary examination:
How to manage the HSP? Some indicators may show the category and severity of the disease, which provides enough information for the further treatment.
1. SEP (Somatosensory Evoked Potential)
SEP shows nerve fiber and corticospinal tract conduction velocity decreases in lower limbs of HSP patients.
2. EMG (electromyogram)
Denervation change may be found in these HSP patients, but peripheral nerve conduction velocity keeps normal.
3. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
Usually the MRI shows normal in the brain. But for some special cases, people may show cerebral atrophy, cerebellar atrophy or amyelotrophy (spinal cord atrophy) in their cervical and thoracic vertebra.
IV. Treatment for HSP:
How to manage the HSP? In clinic, Stem Cell Transplantation treatment for HSP turns out much better effect than conventional therapies, especially for these who were found earlier.
1. Conventional therapies
Currently, there is no effective treatment for HSP, and conventional therapies include drugs, surgery to lengthen heel tendon, massage, physio, acupuncture and moxibustion and so on. There therapies can improve the spasm and motor dysfunction, but can’t cure the disease fundamentally.
2. SCT treatment for HSP
How to manage the HSP? Stem cell transplantation (SCT) treatment for HSP shows good effect in clinic. Stem cell can not only fix and replace the impaired nerves and rebuild the neural circuit, but also secrete cell growth factors which will activate and nourish the impaired nerve factors.
In stem cell center, we have already treated more than 7,000 patients with cerebral palsy, cerebellar ataxia and cerebellar atrophy, and the effective rate is more than 86.9%.
How to manage the HSP? SCT treatment turns out a potential cure for HSP in clinic, find more details, contact us at stemcellprc@gmail.com.
