WHAT IS INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY?

Once called Mental Retardation, Intellectual Disability (or General Learning Disability) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that involves significant underdevelopment of the brain.
Patients suffering from Intellectual Disability face various obstacles that seem impossible to overcome, causing a lot of stress for them and their caregivers. Thankfully, doctors specialized in Autologous Stem Cell Therapy have been highly successful in improving brain function and adaptive behaviors in children with such disorders, leading to a better quality of life for them.
Meditourz has been at the forefront of this endeavor, connecting patients with a top treatment center with one of the finest medical specialists in India, who has the distinction of already having treated nearly 600 cases.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES?

 

The main symptoms include:

  • Lack of sense of self-care
  • Below average academic and work performance
  • Communication and language-related difficulties
  • Difficulty in self-direction, health and safety
  • Emotion and behavior control issues
  • Lack of attention and concentration
  • Memory trouble
  • Poor motor coordination
  • Learning, logical thinking and problem-solving difficulties

HOW DOES AUTOLOGOUS STEM CELL THERAPY HELP WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES?

Transplanted stem cells from the patient’s own bone marrow have the ability to repair the damaged areas of nerve tissue and can work wonders for a person affected with Intellectual Disabilities.
This helps in many ways, such as reducing tissue damage, restoring activity in the affected part and improving several other areas, including:

  • Improved attention span, concentration and memory
  • Faster processing and learning
  • Reduced hyperactivity
  • Improved academic performance
  • Improved confidence
  • Improved communication and social skills

For best results and continuing improvement, parents and caregivers are recommended to follow other rehabilitative therapies after the patient undergoes Autologous Stem Cell Therapy.
