Peripheral And Diabetic Neuropathy

Neuropathy is a complex nerve disease caused by peripheral nerve damage or dysfunction resulting in severe pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling in the affected areas. Diabetic neuropathy is a serious type of health condition where consistently high levels of glucose or sugar in the blood result in nerve damage throughout the body. The stages and symptoms may vary depending on the types of nerves affected by the disease.

Surveys and studies reveal that almost 60-70% of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes patients are affected by diabetic neuropathy. The nerve function in the patients is impaired because the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are distorted. This severely declines the quality of life of the patients. Typical treatments provide short-term results which is temporary relief from the pain and the nerve slowly continues to deteriorate as time passes.

Thankfully, now patients have a cutting-edge and advanced treatment where stem cells are introduced to the affected areas to repair and heal the damaged nerves. Out of all types of stem cells, Wharton’s Jelly mesenchymal stem cells (collected from the human umbilical cord) are considered the most powerful and active stem cells having huge potential to improve nerve function.

Neuropathy can show up in various ways, but the initial symptoms show up in the feet, where the patients experience tingling pain and numbness. The main signs include:

• Feeling weak, having muscle pain, twitching, and cramps
• Changes in hair, nails, and skin
• Sudden and uncontrolled reflexes
• Trouble with coordination and balance
• Being sensitive to touch, feeling tingling, numbness, and tenderness.
• Dealing with diarrhea, constipation, and bloating
• Excessive or decreased sweating
• Vision trouble, such as double vision
• Erectile dysfunction and incontinence
• Unusual blood pressure
• Increase in heart rate

Neuropathy can be of various types and the cause of each type is difficult to identify. The five types are peripheral neuropathy, proximal neuropathy, cranial neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, and focal neuropathy.

However, medical experts and researchers have spotted the following reasons that increase your risk of nerve damage and peripheral neuropathy.

• Uncontrolled sugar level – If the blood glucose level is left unchecked, diabetic patients have an increased risk of developing diabetic neuropathy.
• Family history of diabetes – Diabetic neuropathy gradually develops in a patient and so those who have diabetes in their family ( parents, grandparents, siblings) are likely to get affected by the same.
• Kidney issues – Uncontrolled diabetes is linked directly to kidney damage and this results in the secretion of toxins that enter the bloodstream and damage the nerves.
• Overweight or Obesity – Anyone having a BMI or Body Mass Index of 25 or more is at a greater risk of being affected by diabetic neuropathy.
• Smoking – Excessive smoking leads to shrinking and stiffening of arteries and decreased blood flow to the lower portion of the body (legs and feet). This causes peripheral nerve damage and makes healing difficult.

Apart from the above-mentioned causes, the factors that trigger neuropathy are-

• Chemotherapy
• HIV drugs
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Chronic liver and kidney disease
• Vitamin deficiencies
• Exposure to harmful chemicals
• Lymphoma
• Lyme disease
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Lupus

The process of diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy involves a combination of tests, physical examinations, and a review of past medical records. To determine the extent or severity of the nerve damage, a comprehensive diagnostic process is necessary for any doctor.

The series of blood tests will help the doctors understand the underlying cause of this condition. These include checking blood sugar levels, vitamin deficiencies, abnormal immune responses, and kidney issues. As for physical examination, the doctor will perform tests to assess the nerve function by checking sensitivity to touch, vibration, and temperature. The patient’s response to muscle reflexes, muscle strength, and coordination, are also examined to confirm the disease. Sometimes, for complex cases, nerve function tests like EMG, and imaging tests like MRI and CT scans are required to be performed.

At Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute, the patients will be asked to submit an online application form for a complete medical history review. The form entails comprehensive information about the patient’s health, age, weight, and height, present symptoms, time of onset and progression, pre-existing health disorders, medications, allergies, family history, and other lifestyle factors that need to be mentioned clearly. The thorough details will help our doctors and stem cell specialists identify the factors that contribute to your nerve damage and at the same time, check your eligibility for stem cell treatment.

At present, stem cell therapy is the most viable treatment solution for neuropathy patients because stem cells have the potential to repair damaged nerve cells. With the help of stem cell solutions for nerve damage, we encourage the patient’s body to activate the healing process naturally. These types of stem cells release neuro-regenerative and neuro-protective factors which aid in the quick repair of damaged cells.

Unlike other treatment options, cell therapy using human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs) offers a unique and innovative treatment option for diabetic neuropathy. Patients suffering from pain and other symptoms can now get neuropathy relief with stem cells and start living a normal life like before.

• Stem cell therapy for diabetic neuropathy precisely repairs the damaged nerve tissues and recovers the lost nerve functions.
• This treatment focuses on the root cause of nerve damage rather than masking the symptoms temporarily.
• The results are long-lasting and patients experience significant improvement in their nerve function and overall health.
• HUCT-MSCs are rejection-free with zero risks of immune reactions or allergies.
• Stem cell therapy is considered the safest treatment solution with no side effects.
• The procedure of stem cell administration is painless and minimally invasive, requiring a minimum hospital stay.

After reviewing the patient’s condition and his or her disorder history, if you are found suitable for receiving stem cell therapy, we will prepare a personalized treatment protocol based on your health condition and unique needs. The process is thoroughly safe and fast in which stem cells are administered intravenously using IV dip.

As we mentioned earlier, Life Altering Stem Cell Therapy Institute uses only mesenchymal stem cells derived from the human umbilical cord tissue (Wharton’s Jelly). Based on the treatment duration mentioned in the protocol, we will be administering or injecting doses of stem cells at continuous intervals over the total number of days, say three, four, or five days.

Several clinical trials and research have demonstrated the power of regenerative medicine for treating diabetic neuropathy. Stem cell therapy reduces diabetic nerve pain by repairing and regenerating damaged nerves. The self-renewing stem cells, by differentiating into cells, promote regeneration of nerve cells in the affected areas and potentially reduce symptoms of neuropathy.

Studies indicate that stem cells treat neuropathy by directly influencing both angiogenesis (the natural process of forming new blood vessels) and myelination (the formation of the myelin sheath around a nerve which facilitates faster nerve impulse transmission).

As per experts’ opinions in stem cell research, mesenchymal stem cells are the best possible treatment for various types of neuropathy conditions, including diabetic neuropathy. Also, in terms of safety and long-term efficacy, stem cell-based neuropathy treatments are undoubtedly the most trusted option. Based on the research and reports on clinical trials, our highly experienced stem cell specialists recommend the use of human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HUCT-MSCs) for treating peripheral neuropathy.

In our stem cell therapy clinic in Mexico, we aim to provide comprehensive diabetic neuropathy treatment and care by utilizing the potential of HUCT-MSCs. After our stem cell infusions, affected nerves outside the brain and spinal cord get rejuvenated and renewed because the active, new, and fresh stem cells completely replace the damaged cells. The changes a patient can expect to observe are –

• Decreased muscle pain, twitching, and cramping.
• No support is required for walking and sitting.
• Enhanced changes in hair, nails, and skin.
• Regulated reflexes and improved flexibility.
• Improved coordination and balance.
• Alleviated diarrhea and constipation
• Alleviated erectile dysfunction and incontinence
• Normalized blood pressure.
