Bone marrow aspiration is a minimally invasive procedure where a small amount of bone marrow is collected from the back of your hip bone. A special needle is used to withdraw the marrow, which contains stem cells.

You will receive local anesthesia to numb the area before the procedure, and most people report feeling only mild discomfort during the aspiration. You may experience some soreness or aching in the area for a few days afterwards. goes here

The actual aspiration typically takes only a few minutes. However, you should plan to be at the clinic for approximately 1-2 hours to allow time for preparation, anesthesia, and recovery.

Bone marrow aspiration is generally a safe procedure with minimal risks. Possible side effects include bleeding, bruising, infection, and temporary discomfort at the collection site. Serious complications are rare.

MSCs are adult stem cells found in various tissues including bone marrow. They have the potential to develop into different cell types and release substances that can modulate immune response and support tissue repair.

Stem cell therapy is a promising area of research for Parkinson's Disease and Parkinson-Plus Syndrome. While it's not a cure, it may help to slow disease progression, reduce symptoms, and improve your overall quality of life.

Your bone marrow will be processed in a specialized laboratory to isolate and concentrate the stem cells. These cells will then be prepared for administration back to you.

The method of stem cell administration will depend on the specific treatment protocol. In some cases, the cells may be injected intravenously (into a vein). In other cases, they may be aerosolized into your nasal cavity.

You may experience some mild side effects after the stem cell treatment, such as fatigue, headache, or low-grade fever. These are typically temporary and resolve within a few days. Your doctor will monitor you closely for any adverse reactions.

As a patient in this study there is no cost to you for treatment and procedures associated with the study.

Most people are able to return to their normal activities within a few days after the bone marrow aspiration and stem cell treatment. However, you may need to avoid strenuous activity for a short period.
