Parkinson's Disease

Steadying tremor, stiffness and slowness for longer

Care for parkinson's disease at Bangkok Stem Cell Center

What is Parkinson's Disease?

Parkinson's shows up first as a tremor in one hand, or a stiffness that makes getting out of a chair feel like wading through treacle. It's caused by the slow loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain, and it's progressive — meaning it doesn't sit still. What frustrates patients most isn't usually the tremor itself, it's the unpredictability: good mornings and terrible afternoons, medication that works brilliantly then suddenly doesn't.

How regenerative medicine supports it

Our programme pairs cellular and anti-inflammatory therapies with close monitoring of your UPDRS motor scores, medication response windows, and quality-of-life measures over time. The aim is to support the brain environment and potentially slow the rate of decline rather than reverse damage already done — we do not claim to regrow lost dopamine neurons. We coordinate with your movement disorder specialist so medication timing isn't disrupted.

If the evidence for treating parkinson's disease this way is thin, we will tell you before you book — and the review is not billed.

Parkinson's Disease — Questions Patients Ask

Will this stop my Parkinson's from progressing altogether?

No, and we'd be lying if we said otherwise — Parkinson's is a progressive condition and we can't halt it completely. What we aim for is a meaningful slowing of decline and better day-to-day function, which we track honestly rather than promise in advance.

I'm on levodopa and it's becoming less effective — can this replace it?

It's not a replacement for levodopa or any of your medications. Some patients find their existing medication works more smoothly alongside the programme, but you'll stay under your neurologist's medication plan throughout.

Does this help with the non-movement symptoms, like sleep and mood?

Many patients report better sleep and less brain fog alongside the motor benefits, likely from the anti-inflammatory effect, though we measure motor function most rigorously. We'll track mood and sleep as part of your intake but can't guarantee those softer symptoms will shift.

How early should I start if I've just been diagnosed?

Earlier tends to give more to work with, since there's more surviving dopaminergic tissue to support. That said, we still see and treat patients years into diagnosis — it's just a different, more modest conversation about expectations.

Is deep brain stimulation surgery still an option later if I do this first?

Yes, nothing in our programme rules out DBS or any future surgical option your neurologist recommends. We see ourselves as one part of your overall care, not a fork in the road.
