Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a serious condition that gradually takes away a person’s ability to move, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. While the outlook can be bleak, new developments in stem cell therapy bring hope to patients and their families facing this tough challenge. At GIOSTAR India, we focus on regenerative medicine and offer advanced stem cell treatments that target the underlying causes of long-term illnesses like ALS.
ALS is a progressive disease that affects the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. These neurons control voluntary muscle movements, including walking, speaking, and breathing. As the neurons degenerate, patients experience muscle weakness, paralysis, and, eventually, respiratory failure.
Early symptoms include muscle weakness, difficulty gripping objects, and occasional tripping or falling. Over time, these progress to more severe impairments like trouble swallowing or breathing.
The symptoms of ALS typically begin subtly and worsen over time. They include:
Recognising the first signs of ALS early is crucial for timely intervention.
The Ice Bucket Challenge was a popular social media campaign that peaked in 2014 raised awareness of ALS and brought in millions for research. Although people did not talk much about stem cell therapy during this movement, it has great potential to change how we treat ALS.
The causes of ALS remain unclear, but research points to a combination of genetic and environmental factors:
Risk factors include:
ALS is believed to result from complex interactions between genetic mutations, environmental exposures, and cellular damage. This combination leads to motor neuron degeneration.
While there is no guaranteed way to prevent ALS, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding toxins, and staying physically active may reduce overall neurodegenerative risks.
ALS patients require comprehensive support, including:
Conventional treatments aim to manage symptoms and slow disease progression, but they cannot reverse the damage. Common options include:
While these treatments offer temporary relief, they do not address the root causes of motor neuron degeneration.
Stem cell therapy represents a groundbreaking approach to ALS treatment. At GIOSTAR , we leverage advanced regenerative techniques to target the underlying pathology of ALS, offering hope for better outcomes.
While results may vary, many patients experience:
Stem cells have unique regenerative capabilities that make them ideal for treating ALS. They can:
GIOSTAR is a global leader in stem cell research and therapy, offering personalised treatment protocols for ALS patients. Our approach includes:
ALS remains one of the most challenging neurodegenerative disorders, but innovations in stem cell therapy are opening doors to new possibilities. By targeting the root causes of neuronal damage, GIOSTAR India offers a promising path forward for patients seeking alternative treatment options.
