Autism : A serious developmental disorder that impairs the ability to communicate and interact. Autism spectrum disorder impacts the nervous system and affects the overall cognitive, emotional, social and physical health of the affected individual. 

 

Stem-cell therapy : Stem cell therapy is the use of stem cells to treat or prevent a disease or condition. Bone marrow transplant is the most widely used stem-cell therapy, but some therapies derived from umbilical cord blood are also in use.

Improvements In A Case Of Sensory Ataxia Through Cell Transplantation

Sensory ataxia is a type of ataxia that is caused by the loss of sensory input to control the movement of  the body.  It is both a sign and a symptom. There have been no curative modalities for treating sensory ataxia. Cellular therapy has gained significant attention as a therapeutic option for various neurological disorders. 

We present a case of an 18-year-old female diagnosed with sensory ataxia who was intrathecally administered with autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) along with neurorehabilitation. 

Twelve months after cellular therapy, signs such as ataxia, postural tremors, intention tremors and dysmetria improved. Functional Independence Measure score improved from 106 to 107. Berg Balance Scale improved from 18 to 34. Brief Ataxia Rating Scale improved from 7 to 5. Modified International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale improved 26 to 24. Comparison of the Positron Emission Tomography Computed-Tomography (PET CT) image before and 12 months after cellular therapy showed improved metabolism in bilateral sensory motor cortex, thalamus and cerebellum. These PET findings correlated with symptomatic improvements. 

The clinical improvements along with PET CT findings suggest that cellular therapy is a beneficial therapeutic modality for sensory ataxia. No major adverse effects were seen. Further clinical studies should be conducted to understand the efficacy of cellular therapy in sensory ataxia.  Read more...
