Stem Cell Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis disease
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs, but principally attacks synovial joints. The process produces an inflammatory response of the synovium (synovitis) secondary to hyperplasia of synovial cells, excess synovial fluid, and the development of pannus in the synovium.
Progencell treatment
There is no known cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but different types of treatment can alleviate symptoms and/or modify the disease process. The goal of treatment is two-fold: alleviating the current symptoms, and preventing the future destruction of the joints with the resulting handicap if the disease is left unchecked. These two goals may not always coincide on the pharmacological world: while pain relievers may achieve the first goal, they do not have any impact on the long-term consequences. Analgesia (painkillers) and anti-inflammatory drugs, including steroids, are used to suppress the symptoms, Cortisone therapy has offered relief in the past, but its long-term effects have been deemed undesirable. Non-pharmacological common treatments are physical therapy, orthoses and occupational therapy.
Expected outcome of Progencell treatment
The goal of the treatment is to slow down and even stop the activation of such synoviocytes, with this effect the invasion and destruction of the elements of the joints is eliminated preventing future damage. Also, new cells will travel all over the body collecting and distributing the information of cell function causing the immune system to get back on track as it was when conceived. There is an element of tissue repair, expect improvement of joint function and relieve of joint pain; however deformities and disabilities aren not expected to improve.
