Additional information
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This is an example treatment plan provided to give you an initial idea of the possible treatment protocol and estimated cost.
The example below is based on a patient weighing approximately 70 kg and includes 70 million UC-MSCs (Intravenous Injection) together with 20 million UC-MSCs (Intrathecal Injection).
The final dosage, injection route, treatment schedule, and price will be confirmed after our medical team reviews the patient’s body weight, medical history, laboratory results, spinal condition, disease activity, and current treatment.
After reviewing this offer, if you remain interested in treatment, please send the information requested below. Our medical team will prepare a free personalized treatment plan for you.
--------------------
Estimated treatment cost:
90 million UC-MSCs (IV + IT)
• UC-MSCs: 70 million cells (Intravenous Injection)
• UC-MSCs: 20 million cells (Intrathecal Injection)
Estimated price: THB 665,000
Approximately USD 19,800
IV infusion allows the cells and their supportive signals to circulate throughout the body, aiming to support systemic immune and inflammatory balance.
IT injection is performed under medical supervision and delivers cells closer to the central nervous system, aiming to provide additional support for the spinal and neurological environment.
The USD amount is approximate and may change according to the exchange rate. The final price will depend on the treatment protocol and any additional services recommended by the doctor.

--------------------
How stem cell therapy may support Ankylosing Spondylitis:
• Support for immune and inflammatory regulation: UC-MSCs release bioactive factors that may help regulate abnormal immune and inflammatory activity associated with Ankylosing Spondylitis.
• Support for the spinal environment: UC-MSC-derived factors may support cellular communication, tissue health, and the biological environment surrounding the spine and affected joints.
• Support for pain and stiffness: By supporting inflammatory balance, some patients may experience changes in back pain, morning stiffness, or general discomfort over time.
• Support for mobility and flexibility: Treatment combined with physiotherapy may provide additional support for posture, flexibility, movement, and participation in daily activities.
• Support for overall function: Some patients may report changes in energy, physical comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life.
If changes occur, they may develop gradually over approximately 3–6 months. The response and timeframe vary depending on disease severity, existing structural changes, rehabilitation, and overall health.
Stem cell therapy cannot reverse spinal fusion or permanent structural changes that have already occurred.
--------------------
Information required for a personalized treatment plan:
• Current body weight
• Drug allergies
• Previous or current treatments
• Current medications
• Main symptoms and duration
• Current mobility and level of independence
• Cancer history
• Spine or sacroiliac X-ray, MRI, and medical report, if available
--------------------
Stem cell therapy for Ankylosing Spondylitis is an alternative and supportive treatment. It is not a cure and cannot replace prescribed medication, biologic therapy, physiotherapy, exercise, or regular rheumatology care.
Patients should continue their existing treatment unless their treating doctor advises otherwise. Treatment responses vary from person to person, and no specific result can be guaranteed.
