Rheumatoid arthritis is a type of arthritis where your immune system attacks the tissue lining the joints on both sides of your body. It may affect other parts of your body too.

Uncontrolled inflammation damages cartilage, which normally acts as a "shock absorber" in your joints. In time, this can deform your joints. Eventually, your bone itself erodes. This can lead to the fusion of your joint (an effort of your body to protect itself from constant irritation). 

Specific cells in your immune system (your body's infection-fighting system) aid this process. These substances are produced in your joints but also circulate and cause symptoms throughout your body. In addition to affecting your joints, rheumatoid arthritis sometimes affects other parts of your body, including your:

• Skin
• Eyes
• Mouth
• Lungs
• Heart

Symptoms

Rheumatoid arthritis affects everyone differently. In some people, joint symptoms develop over several years. In other people, rheumatoid arthritis symptoms progress rapidly. Many people have time with symptoms (flares) and then time with no symptoms (remission).

Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include:

• Pain, swelling, stiffness and tenderness in more than one joint
• Stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting for long periods
• Pain and stiffness in the same joints on both sides of your body
• Fatigue (extreme tiredness)
• Weakness
• Fever

MSCs for Rheumatoid arthritis

In the pursuit of effective solutions, innovative medical therapies present promising avenues for addressing the complexities of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Among these, MSC therapy emerges as a transformative option. MSC therapy offers a revolutionary approach by harnessing the ability of these cells to suppress the overactive immune response, thereby reducing inflammation and preventing further harm to the joints.

Clinical Progress and Promising Outcomes

Studies show excellent results after the application of MSCs in Rheumatoid Arthritis patient. These patients report a significant decrease in inflammation, improved joint function, and a reduction in pain levels. This non-invasive treatment option not only addresses the symptoms but also aims to modulate the immune system, presenting a holistic approach to managing this autoimmune condition.

Protocol

Direct injection of cord tissue-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells into the affected joint. This minimally invasive procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, with minimal downtime. Patients typically return home just two days following their scheduled appointment.
