The cost of stem cell treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) in Thailand typically ranges from $20,000 / ฿680,000 to $50,000 / ฿1,700,000. Prices can vary depending on the clinic, the type and source of stem cells (such as autologous or umbilical cord-derived), the number of infusions, and the experience of the medical team. In the United States, the average cost is $75,000 / ฿2,550,000 (per MS Society estimates). This means stem cell therapy in Thailand is about 53% less expensive than in the U.S.
Thai clinics usually include a pre-treatment evaluation, stem cell harvesting and processing, the infusion procedure, hospital stay for monitoring, and follow-up consultations in the quoted price. In the U.S., costs for harvesting, cell processing, inpatient care, and follow-up are often billed separately. Patients should confirm exactly what is included in the package at each clinic.
