How is the cell therapy procedure performed at ReoCell clinic?

1Appointment scheduling

The clinic administrator identifies the main reason for the patient’s visit and arranges an appointment with the appropriate specialist at a convenient time.

2The initial consultation includes:

medical history review;
evaluation of available medical documentation;
physical and instrumental examination;
providing a preliminary diagnosis;
creation of a detailed plan for further diagnostic procedures (including laboratory tests, instrumental studies, and consultations with related specialists, if needed).

3Follow-up consultation

To determine the next steps in treatment, our clinic's doctors during a medical board meeting will develop a personalized treatment plan using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) based on the data from previous consultations and examination results. This plan will be discussed and agreed upon with the patient.

Contraindications for mesenchymal stem cell therapy:

  • Active cancer or a history of cancer treatment within the past 5 years;
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding;
  • Presence of HIV, AIDS, or other diseases related to immunodeficiency states;
  • Unstable mental health conditions;
  • Acute inflammatory processes or exacerbation of chronic diseases;
  • Patients with clinical signs of blood clotting disorders.

If any contraindications are present, mesenchymal stem cell therapy should be avoided.

4Choosing a therapy

  • Autologous cell therapy involves using the patient’s own cells. In this case, the doctor collects a biological sample from the patient (bone marrow or adipose tissue) and sends it to a biotechnological laboratory to cultivate the therapeutic dose of stem cells. It is important to note that cell extraction, processing, and cultivation of the therapeutic dose take time.
  • Allogeneic therapy uses cells from a healthy donor. This type of therapy is often employed when the patient’s own stem cells are unsuitable for treatment — sometimes due to insufficient quantity or poor quality. Allogeneic cells can be prepared for use at any time.

The decision between autologous and allogeneic therapy should be made in consultation with the doctor, considering all individual factors, patient needs, and timing. Consulting with a specialist will help assess the risks and benefits of each approach.

5Administration of the cell therapy

The number of procedures, dosage, and method of administration will depend on the patient’s health condition.

Primary routes for stem cell administration:

In general, aside from initial slight pain at the injection site, patients do not experience significant discomfort. Some patients may experience mild side effects such as fever, headache, or nausea. However, these side effects typically last no more than three days and usually resolve within 24 hours.
