Stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury in EDNA Wellness
About the clinic
Stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury at EDNA Wellness in Bangkok, Thailand, uses allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells to help repair nerve tissue. This regenerative treatment is led by a board-certified neurosurgeon and follows strict quality protocols. The procedure aims to reduce inflammation and promote healing through specialized cell signaling.
Advanced Cell Therapy in Bangkok
The clinic uses Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSCs) sourced from umbilical cord tissue. These cells work through paracrine signaling. They release growth factors and anti-inflammatory cytokines to help the body repair damaged areas. The laboratory at TISTR provides these cells with GMP certification and ISO 9001:2015 standards. This makes sure the cells are high quality and easy to track.
Treatment Methods and Evaluation
Dr. Pongwat Polpong leads the medical team as the Chief Physician. He is a board-certified neurosurgeon who oversees the neurological aspects of the therapy. Before treatment starts, patients undergo a detailed medical exam. This includes MRI scans, CT scans, and a full neurological check. The medical team uses this data to confirm if a patient is a good candidate for the procedure.
- Intravenous (IV) Injection: Cells enter the bloodstream to help with systemic inflammation.
- Intrathecal Injection: Doctors inject cells directly into the cerebrospinal fluid for closer access to the spinal cord.
Patient Expectations and Recovery
This therapy is most effective for patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries who still have some neurological function. It is an investigational treatment rather than a complete cure. Changes usually happen over several months rather than right away. These effects often last between 6 to 12 months. The clinic recommends combining the injections with physical rehabilitation to get the best results. Safety studies show the procedure is generally well-tolerated with only mild, temporary side effects.

Medical Team and Standards
Treatment programs are designed and supervised by Dr. Pongwat Polpong, a board-certified neurosurgeon. Stem cell products are produced under GMP-certified laboratory conditions through collaboration with the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research (TISTR), with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation.
Treatment Areas
- Orthopedic conditions, including knee osteoarthritis and joint degeneration;
- Neurological conditions, including stroke recovery and neurodegenerative disease;
- Systemic aging programs targeting inflammation and cellular decline.
