Additional information
This program is designed for patients with spinal cord injury seeking advanced regenerative support to assist neurological recovery and improve quality of life. The treatment utilizes 100 million Umbilical Cord–Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSCs) administered via intrathecal injection, allowing targeted delivery into the cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the spinal cord.
The procedure is performed by a neurosurgical team in a hospital operating room setting under sterile conditions, with a 1-night hospital stay for monitoring and post-procedure care.
Potential goals of treatment may include support for sensory and motor function recovery, reduction in spasticity, and improvement in daily function. Patient progress is monitored using the ASIA (American Spinal Injury Association) Impairment Scale, a standardized neurological assessment used internationally for spinal cord injury evaluation.
As every spinal cord injury case is different, treatment suitability, expected response, and recovery potential vary depending on injury severity, duration, overall health, and rehabilitation status. A detailed medical review is required prior to treatment planning.

How are we doing?
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.
