- Stem cell therapy can help restore cognitive function and healthy brain activity post-injury.
- Pluripotent neural stem cells promote neural regeneration in the brain, regrowing healthy tissue and improving cognitive functional recovery.
- Stem cell therapy for brain injuries can improve clinical outcomes beyond surgery, speech, and physical therapy by treating neurodegeneration at the source.
- The benefits of stem cell therapy can include improved thinking and decision-making, greater alertness, improved mobility and muscle control, and seizure prevention.
Brain injuries, including concussions, hematomas, and contusions, are the leading cause of injury-related death and disability worldwide (Adugna et al., 2022). Falls, blows, explosions, strokes, and jolts can result in a range of complications, including physical, cognitive, and emotional impairment. Patients may need surgery, physical therapy, speech therapy, and life-long support, but conventional treatment methods often cannot restore the functionality that was lost.
Stem cell therapy offers hope to individuals recovering from various types of brain injuries. The procedure harnesses the unique healing properties of pluripotent stem cells to induce neural regeneration in the affected area and promote whole-body wellness (Saboori et al., 2024).
Understanding Brain Injuries: Causes, Impact, and Limitations of Conventional Treatments
Brain injuries encompass a variety of adverse events that impair brain function. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by an external penetrating force, such as a bullet, and non-penetrating forces strong enough to move the brain inside the skull, such as falls, blast waves, sports injuries, and car crashes. A concussion is a mild type of TBI that leads to temporary injury, loss of consciousness, and changes in awareness. However, a second injury or repeated blows can lead to permanent brain damage. Impacts to the head can also lead to hematomas, bleeding caused by a ruptured blood vessel, and contusions, swelling or bruising in the brain caused by bleeding in brain tissue. Stroke can also lead to brain injury as blood flow to the brain causes brain cells to die.
Brain injuries occur in two phases: the initial damage caused by the impact and the secondary injuries that cause inflammation in the brain (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, 2024). Damaged brain cells release toxins that can accelerate the injury. Depending on the injury, the symptoms may be immediate or develop over the long term, mild or severe. Serious incidents can also lead to permanent disability and death.
Treatment options for brain injuries are limited to conventional methods like physical and speech therapy, which are designed to help patients manage symptoms. Surgery may be needed to prevent additional damage, but it does little to treat the underlying cause. The brain has a limited capacity to regenerate damaged neural cells after an injury, making it difficult for patients to regain their lost abilities.What Is Pluripotent Stem Cell Therapy and How Does It Work?
Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) mark a turning point in brain injury treatments. Stem cells derived from donated blastocysts remain undifferentiated and can signal repair in over 220 cell types, including brain cells. Adults make fewer stem cells as they age, which limits the body’s ability to self-heal.
PSC therapy can help treat brain injury by promoting neurogenesis. Injected cells send signals to existing cells using biobridges, waking dormant stem niches that increase neural pathways. The cells activate the body’s immune system to improve immunoregulation and reduce swelling. The gene expressions released by stem cells promote angiogenesis, forming new blood vessels using existing ones. Increased neural activity also triggers a neurotrophic release to help regulate neurological function during activity.
Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy for Brain Injury Patients
Pluripotent stem cells promote full-body healing, addressing the root causes of pain, immobility, and cellular dysfunction. Their unique healing properties make them the best option for regenerating damaged brain tissue.
Stem cell therapy benefits for brain injuries include:
- Reduced inflammation
- Improved cognition and memory
- Restored motor control, balance, and coordination
- Whole-body rejuvenation for complementary healing
Why Stemaid Institute’s Approach Stands Out
Stemaid Institute’s approach to stem cell therapy for brain injuries utilizes the healing power of pluripotent stem cells and Plurisomes™, the exosomes of pluripotent stem cells. These cells are cultivated from donated blastocysts and can signal repair in over 220 cell types to support full-body healing. Research indicates that exosomes help transport stem cells to damaged areas of the brain and increase their survival rate to improve the benefits of treatment (Adugna et al., 2022).
The procedure is minimally invasive with no significant side effects because the stem cells aren’t being cultivated from the patient. They are tailored to the individual using a simple skin biopsy and are naturally removed from the body after signalling repair. IVs are administered locally where they will have the greatest impact. Patients also receive peptides, detox therapy, and massage to reduce inflammation and increase circulation throughout the body.
Stemaid Institute has performed over 50,000 successful stem cell procedures across two decades of research and development. Our safety record supports the science by showing no serious side effects or complications.
In contrast to pluripotent stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells found in adults must be harvested from the patient’s bone marrow, which requires surgery and anesthesia. They can only signal repair in four types of cells: bone, muscle, fat, and cartilage, limiting their therapeutic benefits for those recovering from TBI.
While stem cell therapy is not an FDA-approved cure for brain injuries, a growing body of evidence suggests that it can aid the recovery process and restore healthy brain tissue beyond other treatments.
What to Expect: Treatment Process, Timeline, and Travel Info
Stem cell therapy for brain injuries generally lasts between two and five weeks. It begins with a consultation with a provider from our team. They will discuss your condition, health history, and clinical goals to ensure you’re a good candidate for the procedure.
Our staff will help you arrange your trip to our San José del Cabo, Mexico, facility. When you arrive, the medical team will perform blood tests and X-rays to learn more about your condition.
You'll receive injections in a clean, state-of-the-art facility under the supervision of trained experts. We use a multi-modal stem cell protocol to track your development as the stem cells distribute throughout the affected area.
Mexico offers affordable stem cell therapy that is not yet available in the U.S. The enhanced regulatory approval process relies on international standards to keep costs low without sacrificing safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long after a brain injury can stem cell therapy still be effective?
Stem cell therapy can still be effective years after the injury occurred. They support whole-body wellness, promote enhanced neural activity, and improve immunoregulation at any stage of your recovery.
Are pluripotent stem cells safe, and what are the potential risks?
Pluripotent stem cell therapy is safe and does not pose serious health risks. The stem cells signal repair to neighboring cells before being disposed of naturally, so nothing stays in the body. Therapy relies on the body’s internal self-healing properties instead of introducing foreign agents.
How much does stem cell therapy for brain injuries at Stemaid cost?
Treatment costs vary based on the length of therapy and the number of injections. While the procedure isn’t covered by insurance, the price is much less in Mexico than in other countries. Patients pay between $1,000 and $1,500 per injection.
Do I need to travel to Mexico, and how is treatment arranged?
Yes, all patients must travel to our facility in San José del Cabo, Mexico, to receive the treatment. Our staff will help you make all the necessary arrangements to facilitate your stay, including your flight and living accommodations.
Is stem cell therapy FDA-approved for brain injuries, and what scientific evidence supports its use?
Stem cell therapy for brain injuries has yet to be approved by the FDA in the U.S. It’s only available in select territories that have approved the cultivation of pluripotent stem cells. Science indicates that these cells can help patients recover after TBI by regenerating healthy tissue and restoring cognitive function beyond what other treatments can provide.
