Experimental: Therapy for Parkinson's disease
Stem cell derived from the bone marrow of the patient will be stereotactically transplanted in the striatum.These stem cell are the expected to grow up into dopamine secreting neural cells.
|
Procedure: Autologous Bone marrow derived stem cells transplant
Stem cells are derived from the bone marrow of the patient and processed at Reliance life sciences.The stem cells are the stereotactically implanted in the striatum.

Detailed Description:
Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder, still at its best can only be controlled by medical or surgical treatment. For more than two decades various groups have tried using modified cell transplants for curing this disease. Earlier results with use of fetal mesencephalic cell transplant were encouraging, but this had to be discontinued due to severe side effects.
Current interest, in the use of Mesenchymal stem cells as a pluripotent cell for developing neural cells has been the background for this study. Reliance Life sciences had found encouraging results with the use of human MSCs in Rat model of PD. Based on this and other data, Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre has initiated a pilot study to investigate the efficacy of Autologous MSCs in treating advanced PD. This cells will be harvested from bone marrow, processed at RLS laboratory and transplanted by stereotactic techniques into the striatum of the patient.
