Intrathecal Stem Cell Therapy in Istanbul

Local anesthetic minimizes discomfort. Most patients describe brief pressure but not pain during the procedure.

It is most often discussed for multiple sclerosis (MS), ALS, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, post-stroke recovery, and selected autism spectrum cases — always after detailed specialist neurological review.

Intrathecal injection places UC-MSCs directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, bypassing the blood-brain barrier that limits how much reaches the CNS via IV alone. For many central nervous system conditions, this gives cells far closer access to brain and spinal cord tissue.

Mild post-procedure headache is the most common side effect — usually resolved with rest and hydration. Serious complications are rare in experienced hands.

Yes — combined IV + intrathecal protocols are common at our Istanbul clinic for layered systemic plus CNS effect.

Candidacy is reviewed case by case. After you send your diagnosis, recent reports, imaging, and current medications, our Istanbul medical team will tell you honestly whether this regenerative pathway is appropriate for you — and what realistic outcomes might look like.

Most international patients stay 3–4 days in Istanbul: one day to arrive and rest, 1–2 focused treatment days at our clinic, and a final day for monitoring before flying home. We help coordinate flights, accommodation near the clinic, and translator support so the trip feels organized and calm.

Mesenchymal stem cell and exosome therapies have a well-documented safety profile in published clinical literature when performed correctly. At our Istanbul clinic, every protocol uses GMP-aligned cells, sterile technique, and qualified medical specialists with continuous monitoring.
