Transverse Myelitis, or TM, is a rare autoimmune condition that affects the spinal cord causing weakness, sensory loss, and other neurological complications. TM causes inflammation of the spinal cord, and while some patients can recover with early medical intervention, many others experience long-term symptoms that can impact overall independence and quality of life.
At Verita Neuro we are committed to helping patients with on-going symptoms caused by Transverse Myelitis to regain strength, mobility, and confidence with our Stem Cell Treatments.
What is Transverse Myelitis?
With Transverse Myelitis, the immune system attacks the spinal cord, which leads to inflammation and damage to the myelin that insulates the nerve fibers. If left untreated, TM can lead to complete paralysis, sensory deficits, issues with the bowel and bladder, and in some severe cases patients might experience respiratory difficulties.
The condition is often diagnosed with an MRI and the earlier medical intervention takes place, the more likely recovery is – without medical assistance recovery is very unlikely. Early treatments often include high-dose steroids or immune-modulating drugs, however for advanced cases Stem Cell treatment and occasionally Epidural Stimulation are often the best options for patients.
Verita Neuro’s Approach to Transverse Myelitis
Our team of experts understand that living with the long-term effects of Transverse Myelitis can be both mentally and physically challenging. We hope that through our treatments and rehabilitation programs we can help TM patients to get back on track and regain their independence. Our team will discuss what treatments or combination of treatments will be best for you and your individual case.
Treatments for Transverse Myelitis at Verita Neuro
Stem Cell Treatment
At Verita Neuro we use two types of Stem Cells in our treatments, MSCs and AFSCs. All of the Stem Cells we use are fresh and never frozen ensuring you will only receive the most potent Stem Cells – something that will increase the chances of the treatment being successful. Our Stem Cells might help to reduce inflammation of the spinal cord, repair damaged tissues, and encourage neural regeneration.
Reported benefits include:
- Increased muscle control
- Improved voluntary movement
- Fewer spasms and reduced neuropathic pain
- Better bowel and bladder function
- Increased energy
- Improved daily function
Epidural Stimulation
In some very rare cases we might offer TM patients a combination of Epidural Stimulation and Stem Cell treatment. This treatment involves placing a programmable stimulator over the spinal cord to encourage lost communication between the brain and the body.
Rehabilitation and Supportive Care
As with all our treatments at Verita Neuro, we provide a tailored rehabilitation program created around your unique case, needs, and goals. Our expert team works closely with each other to provide you with the best tools to encourage recovery.
