What is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a rare and progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells (motor neurons) in the brain and spinal cord. These neurons are responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements such as walking, speaking, eating, and breathing.

As ALS progresses, motor neurons gradually die, leading to muscle weakness, loss of coordination, and ultimately paralysis. Although cognitive functions are typically preserved, the condition severely impacts physical independence. ALS can affect anyone, but it is most commonly diagnosed between the ages of 40 and 70.

What Are the Symptoms?

ALS symptoms typically begin subtly and worsen over time. Common early signs include:t

Muscle

weakness

Twitching and muscle cramps

Difficulty speaking, swallowing, or breathing

Loss of coordination or frequent tripping

Slurred speech and nasal tone

Fatigue and weight loss

Current Treatments
for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

While there is no cure for ALS, several treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life:

Medications like Riluzole and Edaravone may slow disease progression and ease symptoms like cramps or saliva buildup.
Breathing support with devices such as BiPAP helps in early stages; ventilators may be needed later.
Therapies (physical, occupational, speech) maintain movement, support daily tasks, and aid communication.
Nutrition planning and feeding tubes help ensure proper nourishment.
Team-based care from specialists improves overall comfort and coordination of treatment.

What Are the Outcomes?

ALS is a progressive condition with no known cure. Life expectancy after diagnosis typically ranges from 2 to 5 years, though some patients live longer. The rate of progression varies from person to person. Early diagnosis, symptom management, and supportive care can prolong survival and enhance quality of life. Emotional and psychological support for both patients and families is also crucial throughout the disease journey.

Stem Cell Therapy for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

Stem cell therapy is an area of ongoing research offering hope for the future of ALS treatment. This approach aims to replace or protect damaged motor neurons by introducing neural or mesenchymal stem cells into the spinal cord or bloodstream.

Potential benefits include:

Slowing disease progression by protecting neurons
Reducing inflammation around the nervous system
Promoting repair of damaged tissue

Though still under clinical investigation, stem cell therapy is considered safe and may offer relief for patients who haven’t responded well to conventional treatments. Consultation with a specialist is recommended to determine candidacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this FDA-approved?

Stem cell therapies using ethically sourced regenerative cells are regulated under strict guidelines by the FDA. While certain applications have explicit FDA approval, others are administered under FDA guidelines as investigational therapies, complying fully with regulatory standards to ensure safety and quality.

What are the risks or side effects?

Stem cell therapy is generally safe with minimal risk. Common mild side effects can include temporary soreness, swelling, or minor bruising at the injection site. Rarely, more serious complications such as infections or allergic reactions can occur. Our medical team thoroughly evaluates each patient to minimize these risks.

How long until I feel results?

Patients often notice initial improvements within days to weeks, with more substantial benefits progressively occurring over the following months as the regenerative process continues. Individual experiences can vary depending on the condition's severity and personal health factors.

How many sessions are required?

Many patients experience significant improvements after a single session. However, depending on individual conditions and response to treatment, additional sessions may be recommended to maximize outcomes. Our specialists provide personalized recommendations during your consultation.

Is this covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage varies depending on the specific policy and condition being treated. While regenerative therapies are not universally covered, some plans offer partial or full coverage. Our administrative team will assist you in verifying insurance coverage and exploring financial options to support your treatment.
