Some patients may begin to notice gradual changes within approximately 3–6 months after treatment. Possible changes may include neurological function, attention, sleep, energy, participation in daily activities, and overall wellness. Stem cell therapy supports the body’s natural repair and regenerative processes rather than producing immediate medication-like effects. The response and timeframe vary from person to person. Method of Administration: IV infusion allows the cells and their supportive signals to circulate throughout the body, aiming to support immune balance and systemic inflammatory regulation. IT injection is performed under medical supervision and delivers the cells closer to the central nervous system, aiming to provide additional neurological support. The final injection route or combination of routes will be determined by the doctor based on the patient’s medical condition and treatment suitability. If changes occur, they may develop gradually and may be monitored over approximately 3–6 months. The response and timeframe vary from person to person.
