There is no specific timing for stem cell treatment; but like many other neurological conditions and based on the trials testing stem cell therapy on infants of different ages (8, 9), we generally recommend seeking stem cell therapy early after diagnosis – i.e. during infancy. This is because the earlier the stem cell intervention, the easier it is to prevent further damage of the neurons and to be able to restore normal brain and spinal cord functioning before permanent damage takes place. We still need to report that clinical benefit is not 100% guaranteed as is the case with any intervention, and consulting our specialists prior to undergoing the procedure is of utmost importance in order to gain more insight on the procedure and the estimated possibility of treatment success for your individual case.
