Rehabilitation Program And Rehabilitative Therapy For Autism

Autism is on the rise in India. The neurodegenerative disorder is characterized by impairment in non-verbal and verbal communication, restrictive behavior, repetitive actions and other defects concerned with brain and nervous system. Gene deformations are the number 1 cause of the disease. The disease shows its symptoms in the first 3 years of life. Perception, understanding, speech, social behavior and other aspects of a child’s mind get hampered. Apart from genes, environmental factors like maternal stress, mercury poisoning and exposure to certain toxins, infections and radiations may also cause Autism.

Autism is treated through stem cell therapy and a complete rehabilitative program at the premier healthcare institutions like NBSI or Neurogen Brain and Spine Research institute.

Autism Stem Cell Therapy And Rehabilitation Program

A combination of stem cell therapy and rehabilitation program is used for improving the health and quality of life of Autism patients.

How Stem Cell Therapy Works For Autism

The two prime pathologies involved with autism are immune deregulation and reduction in brain’s oxygen supply. Certain brain areas suffer from reduced functioning, and an imbalance is caused that gives rise to Autism.

Stem cells can multiply and differentiate to assume specialized brain functions. They can repair the affected and damaged parts of the brain along with their neurons at structural, molecular and functional level. Stem cells (derived from different body sources of donors and patients) are transplanted within the Autism affected patient’s body through injections. Once inside the body, stem cells migrate to the affected areas and exert their stimulatory effect.

Post stem cell therapy, a person shows improvements in different aspects of brain and neural functionality. The attention span and concentration of children increase. There is also a marked improvement in eye contact, speech, social interactions, communication skills and reduction in aggressive behavior, among other benefits.

Apart from Autism stem cell treatment, the leading institutions also provide other therapies to the affected individuals under the comprehensive Autism rehabilitation program.
