Stem Cell Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Patient Profile

• Name: Albert James De Meillon
• Diagnosis: Sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Date of Birth: March 31, 1956
• Gender: Male
• Country: South Africa

Treatment:

• Stem cell therapy combined with:
  • Microcirculation and neuronal nutrition improvement strategies
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
  • Rehabilitation therapy

Medical History

Albert was admitted to Puhua International Hospital (PIH) on June 27, 2011, for stem cell treatment (SCT), following a traumatic brain injury sustained in a car accident several years prior. The injury had resulted in speech, walking, and memory impairments.

Medical Condition Before Stem Cell Treatment (SCT)

Prior to SCT, Albert's condition was characterized by the following symptoms:

• Slurred speech with word repetition and difficulties forming complex sentences
• Impaired concentration, orientation, imagination, and learning abilities
• Clumsy movements, particularly on his left side
• Wide-based gait due to instability while walking

Stem Cell Treatment (SCT) for TBI

Albert underwent a multidisciplinary treatment approach, including:

• Stem cell therapy targeting neural repair and regeneration
• Therapies aimed at improving microcirculation and neuronal nutrition
• Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support overall recovery
• Rehabilitation therapy focused on motor function, balance, and cognitive improvement

Medical Condition After Stem Cell Treatment (SCT)

Following SCT, Albert demonstrated noticeable improvements in his speech, gait, memory, movements, and learning abilities:

• Clearer articulation with improved pronunciation of previously challenging words
• Longer sentences and better descriptions with reduced repetition during conversations
• Steadier gait with enhanced balance control and the ability to walk along a straight line
• Improved short-term memory and faster learning capabilities
• Richer imagination and better time and place orientation
