Intrathecal Transplantation of Mesenchymal Stem Cell in Patients With ALS
March 6, 2018 updated by: Royan Institute
Intrathecal Transplantation of Autologous Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell in Patients With ALS
ALS is a debilitating disease with varied etiology characterized by rapidly progressive weakness, muscle atrophy and fasciculations, muscle spasticity, difficulty speaking (dysarthria), difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), and difficulty breathing (dyspnea).
ALS is the most common of the five motor neuron diseases.Riluzole (Rilutek) is the only treatment that has been found to improve survival but only to a modest extent.
It lengthens survival by several months, and may have a greater survival benefit for those with a bulbar onset.
It also extends the time before a person needs ventilation support.Stem cell transplantation is a new hopeful way to improve the patients conditions and reduce the period of disabilities.

Detailed Description
In this study our purpose is to evaluate the safety of intraventricular injection of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell.the
patients who are eligible,underwent bone marrow aspiration.after
cell separation and preparation,the patients underwent mesenchymal stem cell intraventricular injection by stereotaxis.after
injection he will be under observed in ICU to monitor the adverse events(allergic and neurological side effects).patients
are followed 1th,3th ,6th and 12 months after injection and each time these parameters are checked:ALS-FRS,EMG-NCV,FVC,side effect check list.
