Spinal Muscular Atrophy stem cell therapy — your questions answered

Can stem cells treat SMA?

Cell therapy for Spinal Muscular Atrophy is offered as an individualised, physician-led programme. In most countries it is regulated as an advanced therapy rather than an approved 'cure' — which is exactly why EU GMP oversight matters.

Does it replace gene therapy?

Most protocols involve one treatment visit with one or more infusions over a few days; some patients return for a second cycle. Your plan is set after assessment.

What support is realistic?

Eligibility depends on condition stage, age and overall health. We review your records before recommending anything — and we will tell you honestly if you are not a good candidate.

Cost in the EU?

A Spinal Muscular Atrophy programme at Stem Plus is €3,000–€8,000, all-in for treatment. Add travel and hotel using our calculator for your full cost.
