Traumatic Brain Injury

Supporting recovery of thinking, mood and function after injury

Care for traumatic brain injury at Bangkok Stem Cell Center

What is Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury — from a fall, a crash, an assault — can leave behind headaches, memory gaps, mood swings and a mental fatigue that outsiders can't see, which is exactly what makes it so isolating. Mild injuries often settle within weeks, but moderate to severe ones can leave lasting changes to thinking, personality and physical coordination that families have to adjust to over months and years.

How regenerative medicine supports it

We assess cognitive function, inflammatory markers and, where relevant, imaging alongside your neurologist, because TBI severity and pattern vary enormously and shape what's realistic. Cellular and anti-inflammatory therapies are used to support recovery of the injured brain tissue and surrounding networks, tracked against cognitive testing and functional scores over time. In more severe injuries with substantial structural damage, our role is supporting whatever recovery is underway, not reversing tissue that's been lost.

If the evidence for treating traumatic brain injury this way is thin, we will tell you before you book — and the review is not billed.

Traumatic Brain Injury — Questions Patients Ask

It's been two years since my injury and I still get headaches and brain fog — is there any point starting now?

There's often still room for improvement even years out, though the pace of change is generally slower than in the first year after injury. We'll assess your current cognitive function properly before setting expectations.

Will this help with the personality and mood changes since my husband's accident?

Some mood and behavioural changes linked to ongoing inflammation or dysfunction can improve alongside broader recovery, but personality change from significant structural brain injury can be more fixed. We track this honestly rather than promise a return to exactly who he was before.

Do I need a specific type of scan before you'll treat me?

We like to see recent imaging or a clear report from your treating doctor confirming the injury is stable and not acute, since our programme is for the recovery phase rather than emergency care.

Can this replace cognitive rehabilitation therapy?

No, cognitive rehab remains a central part of recovery and we actively encourage continuing it. We see our therapies as supporting that work, not substituting for it.

How do you know if my thinking has actually improved, rather than me just having a good day?

We use formal cognitive testing — memory, processing speed, attention — at baseline and follow-up, which gives us a more reliable picture than day-to-day impression alone.
