Terapia com células estaminais para a doença de Parkinson em Tailândia — receba 3 correspondências de clínicas personalizadas

Clinics in Thailand use mesenchymal stem cells, usually from the umbilical cord or fat tissue, to treat Parkinson's disease. Doctors administer the cells through IV infusion or direct injection near the spine. These cells aim to reduce brain inflammation and support the repair of damaged neurons.

Yes, clinical trials found that 86.5% to 100% of patients responded positively to stem cell treatments. They showed improved posture, reduced tremors, fewer freezing episodes, and better motor function.

Studies show that serious side effects are rare. Patients did not develop tumors or new movement problems after treatment. Mild side effects include headaches and nausea.

Look for facilities licensed by the Thai Ministry of Public Health. Prioritize clinics that use GMP-certified labs for stem cell processing and clearly state their cell source (e.g., umbilical cord, adipose tissue). Ask whether the clinic provides long-term follow-ups and check for treatment protocols and patient reviews.

Based on the Bookimed ranking, the top clinics are:

1. ID Clinic Bangkok – Bangkok, Thailand
2. VitalLife Scientific Wellness Center – Bangkok, Thailand
3. R3 Life Wellness Center – Bangkok, Thailand
4. The Demarest Clinic – Phuket, Thailand

Healthcare is the key development sector of the Thai government. The Thai authorities are convinced that care for the citizens' health should be an absolute priority of state policy and spend about 25 billion baht for healthcare annually.

As a result, 36,673 medical facilities provide excellent medical care in the country. 64 centers in the Kingdom have certificate of JCI (Joint Commission International), the international improver of healthcare quality and safety across the globe. The index of certificates obtained is the largest. To compare, Israel has 20 JCI-accredited facilities, and Germany — only 10 clinics of this type.

In the Kingdom of Thailand, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Thai hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.

The main advantage of Thai resorts is the long beach season. On the east coast and west coast the climate features are different, so take it into account when planning the trip. The best time to travel is during the cool and dry season between November and early April. A large influx of tourists is in March-May, when the air temperature is +30°C.

For now, the Kingdom of Thailand requires different visa regimens for diverse states. Some foreigners can stay in the country 60 days without visa control, some of them — only 14 days.
