Parkinson\u2019s disease is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that causes stiff and inflexible muscles, leading the slow movement and tremors. It can also cause a range of other physical and psychological symptoms, such as depression, insomnia and memory loss.<\/p>\n
While no details about Ozzy\u2019s stem cell treatment have yet been released, it seems to have lessened his symptoms; improving quality of life. Speaking of his recovery at home, Ozzy\u2019s daughter Kelly said:<\/p>\n
To see this progress after just one stem cell treatment is amazing. He wants to get up, he wants to be active. He wants to be part of the world again. He walks better, tells better, his symptoms wither. He is restored to the muscle strength that is needed after a spinal injury.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Private clinics like Ozzy\u2019s are offering stem cell therapies for Parkinson\u2019s disease, but none are clinically proven yet. However, cases like this combined with pioneering research will help scientists to develop an approved treatment.<\/p>\n
Claire Bale, Head of Research at Parkinson\u2019s UK, released a statement following Ozzy\u2019s therapy:<\/p>\n
Stem cells\u2026hold huge promise\u2026At Parkinson’s UK we’re driving forward pioneering research, including investigating stem cells, to find better treatments and a cure. People affected also have a vital role to play, through taking part in research to move new treatments forwards.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
