What Researchers Did
Researchers treated a 15-year-old male with drug-resistant epilepsy using a combination of cell-based therapy derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, and peripheral blood, along with hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
What They Found
After two sessions of cell-based therapy followed by neuro-physiotherapy and oxygen therapy, the patient experienced a decrease in seizure frequency and a reduction in anti-epileptic medication dosage. An electroencephalogram taken one year after the therapy revealed improvement in seizure activity.
Canadian Relevance
No direct Canadian connection identified.
Study Limitations
