Stem cell therapy for neurological issues utilizes adult, umbilical cord stem cells harvested from Wharton’s jelly. Intravenous stem cells and a protocol for crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is used to facilitate a direct route into the nervous system, where stem cells are able to support the repair of nerve damage that has resulted from various degenerative diseases.
The central nervous system is composed of the brain, the spinal cord, and the nerves. This nervous network is in charge of controlling bodily functions including movement, speech, breathing, and walking.
There are more than 600 known neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, cerebrovascular diseases, Parkinson’s disease, and others.
Symptoms can vary but they may lead to:
Most neurological diseases are progressive, meaning they worsen over time. This makes control and slowing of the disease’s progression the main objective.
Stemwell’s stem cell therapy for neurological issues utilizes adult stem cells harvested from Wharton’s jelly. Intravenous stem cells and a protocol for crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is used to achieve targeted treatment directly into the nervous system, where stem cells support the nerve damage repair that has resulted from various degenerative diseases.
How does stem cell therapy work? In patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, or any other type of neurodegenerative disease, Stemwell’s stem cells supports the slowing of symptom progression, supports improved blood flow to the brain, and supports damaged tissue repair.
This leads to a better quality of life measurably in:
Although stem cell therapy is not a cure for neurological conditions, there is a lot of promising evidence that Stemwell’s Stem Cell Therapy for neurological issues greatly improves the patient’s quality of life by supporting a slowing of disease progression and improving some symptoms.
The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) is a protective barrier made up of blood vessels and tissue that keeps harmful substances from reaching the brain.
The problem with the BBB is that it not only protects the brain, but it also makes it difficult for implanted stem cells to reach the brain. As a result, Stemwell doctors use a specially developed protocol to cross the BBB and deliver stem cells directly into the brain. In this manner, stem cells are targeted toward the brain’s affected areas in order to support healing and repair.
Stemwell uses cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells ethically sourced from full-term human umbilical cords. We administer more than 300 million cells that are all thoroughly tested for viability before treatment. These cells are NOT a blood product; therefore, it is extremely safe and does not require HLA or phenotypic matching.

Stemwell’s stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease employs more than 300 million Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) implanted via proprietary and individualized treatment protocols. Once in the body, they signal the body to slow disease progression while also supporting tissue healing and repair. This process supports the body’s ability to regenerate damaged brain cells and promote the formation of new dopamine-producing neurons.
The stem cells will support a decrease in brain cell death and support the growth of new blood vessels, which will help restore oxygen-rich blood flow in the brain.
Stemwell’s protocols also includes a technique for crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to make sure the processed stem cells are delivered directly into the brain to ensure maximum effectiveness. In this way, stem cells are directly and specifically targeted to affected areas inside the brain to support healing and repair.
Stem cells are present naturally throughout the body in various tissues, and they are in charge of repairing minor bumps, bruises, and cuts. When the body detects an injury, stem cells travel to the site, identify the wound, and replace or regenerate tissue. Whether the injury is a paper cut or pneumonia, natural stem cells will repair the tissue.
Unfortunately, the number of stem cells available at any given time is simply insufficient to heal brain tissue after a stroke in the same way that it would heal a bruise or a minor laceration.
This is where Stemwell’s stem cell therapy for stroke comes in. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from Wharton’s jelly are a potent source of usable adult stem cells. Once processed and re-implanted, they signal the body to reduce inflammation and prevent further brain cell death while supporting the repair of damaged tissue.
Furthermore, stem cells not only support healing, repair, and regeneration to the infarcted area, they also deeply stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, creating alternative pathways for oxygen-rich blood to reach the brain and restore blood flow.
Stemwell implantation protocols employ a procedure developed specifically for crossing the blood brain barrier, allowing Stemwell’s processed stem cells to enter the brain. This method has been proven effective in several scientific publications.
Our stem cell therapy for neuropathy employs more than 300 million processed mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) extracted from Wharton’s jelly, and implanted using Stemwell’s proprietary delivery protocols. Once in the body, they prevent further cell death while also encouraging the repair and replacement of damaged brain tissue.
The processed stem cells will not only stop brain cell death, but they will also promote the growth of new blood vessels, which will aid in the restoration of oxygen-rich blood flow in the brain. Stemwell’s protocol also includes a method for crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to ensure that the processed stem cells are delivered directly into the brain for maximum efficacy. In this manner, stem cells are sent directly and specifically to affected areas of the brain in order to repair neuron damage.

Stem cell therapy is not a cure for any neurological condition. The treatment may help to improve overall functioning and slow down disease progression, but it will not permanently treat the condition.
Neurological conditions result from damage to the nervous system. During therapy for neuropathy, stem cells aim to repair and regenerate damaged nerve cells, helping to improve nerve functioning. Stem cells also help to increase the cell survival of different neuronal and glial cells (cells which help nerve cells to function).
At Stemwell, we use mesenchymal stem cells derived from Wharton’s jelly – which is the mucoid tissue surrounding the umbilical cord. Mesenchymal stem cells are known as ‘adult’ stem cells. They occur naturally in the body and are undifferentiated or ‘blank’. They can differentiate into a wide range of specialized cells with important functions. This characteristic is what makes them so valuable in regenerative medicine, as they can differentiate into the cells needed to help the healing of many illnesses and injuries.
The umbilical cord contains powerful mesenchymal stem cells, and these can be harvested from the umbilical cord of healthy donors. At Stemwell, we believe this is the most ethical way to source high-quality stem cells. We never use human embryos as a source of stem cells.
Stem cell therapy for neuropathy is still a relatively new branch of medicine. More research is needed to understand how effective stem cell therapy is for neurological conditions.
Existing research has demonstrated the potential of stem cell therapy in a range of neurological disorders. For example:
While results as such show promising potential for the use of stem cell therapy in nerve conditions, larger and more long-term studies are needed before we can evaluate the true effectiveness and generalizability of stem cell therapy for neurological conditions.
As each person we see is so different, we develop unique, personalized treatment plans to maximize the results for each individual. This means that there isn’t a standard fee for stem cell therapy. Instead, overall costs are based on your bespoke plan. During your consultation, we can give an indication of the cost of stem cell therapy.
Most people will be able to have treatment during the daytime, without needing to stay overnight in the hospital. If you do need to be observed overnight, you will be transferred to a hospitalization service, but this is not very common.
All treatments take place at our advanced facility in Bogotá, which is located in a state-of-the-art hospital.
Our mission is to bring hope, healing, and a personalized plan to every patient we meet. We believe the caring hands and expertise of our doctors along with our proven protocols provide the best possible outcomes. We follow the highest ethical international standards offering transparency, honesty, and clinical accuracy.
