EDNA Wellness in Bangkok, Thailand provides advanced stem cell programs for spinal cord injury. Diagnostics and consultations start the process. Treatment options typically range from a $19,600 basic package to a more personalized $35,300 program. The clinic's approach is led by its Johns Hopkins-trained Chief Physician with 15 years of experience.
Stem Cell Treatment Options
The clinic offers two primary methods of stem cell administration for spinal cord injury. Both are part of the clinic's therapy package. Patients receive a detailed evaluation to determine the best approach.
- Intrathecal UC-MSC: This method uses 100 million stem cells. They are delivered via a lumbar puncture directly into the spinal canal. This allows for targeted action at the injury site.
- IV UC-MSC: This approach administers 1-2 million cells per kilogram of body weight intravenously. It provides systemic treatment through the bloodstream.
Each patient's progress is tracked using the ASIA Motor Score. This helps monitor improvements in muscle function. The clinic's chief physician has published research on spinal cord injury outcomes.
Program Details and Pricing
The stem cell therapy program is offered as a package. The price depends on the level of personalization required. The base cost typically starts around $19,600.
- A one-day hospital stay for the procedure.
- A one-day hotel stay for recovery.
- A detailed medical evaluation and consultation.
More comprehensive and personalized programs may cost around $35,300. These do not include airfare, transfers, or extended hotel stays. The package is designed for international patients.
