Regenerative medicine, considered carefully
Stem cell therapy in Thailand.
Understand the evidence.
Explore what research tells us, where uncertainty remains, and which questions to ask before considering treatment.
An informed decision can include deciding against treatment.
A clearer place to begin.
Start with your condition, understand the proposed treatment, then look closely at the research behind it.
Explore the conditions
Find information organised by body system, from joint conditions to neurological and autoimmune disease.
Browse the condition directory
Understand treatment types
MSCs, autologous cells, exosomes and PRP are different products. Learn why those differences matter.

Look at the research
Read study summaries alongside their limits. A published study is a starting point for questions, not a guarantee.
Visit the research libraryThere is no single answer for every condition.
The cell source, procedure, diagnosis and outcomes studied all matter. Evidence for one intervention does not automatically apply to another.
- Knee osteoarthritisWhat trials measure, and what remains uncertain
- Autoimmune conditionsDifferent diagnoses and distinct treatment approaches
- HSCT versus MSC infusionWhy transplant evidence cannot be applied to an infusion
- The limits of current evidenceQuestions to ask about claims of benefit
Read the evidence in context.
Human trials
Look at the comparison group, study size and length of follow-up.
Early research
Small studies can raise questions without settling whether a treatment works.
Laboratory studies
Findings in cells or animals do not establish benefit in people.
Evidence gaps
Uncertainty should be part of the conversation and informed consent.
Take time over the next step.
Begin with the information you need to decide whether an assessment is worthwhile.
Understand your options
Read about your condition, established care, possible risks and the limits of regenerative approaches.
Ask about a review
Contact the clinic to confirm which records are needed and how to share them appropriately.
Decide before travelling
Discuss suitability, alternatives, total costs and follow-up with a clinician before making arrangements.
Coming to Bangkok?
Start before you fly.
Travel planning should follow a discussion of your needs, not come before it. Our patient guides cover records, appointments, accommodation and follow-up after returning home.
Questions worth asking.
Does stem cell therapy work for every condition?
No. Evidence depends on the exact intervention and condition. Many advertised applications remain unproven. A specialist can help you compare the evidence with established options. Read the ISSCR patient guide.
Does having a published trial mean a treatment is approved?
No. Publication, clinical benefit and regulatory approval are separate issues. Ask which product and indication are being proposed, and what authorisation applies.
How much does treatment cost?
Costs depend on the proposed intervention, assessment, testing and follow-up. Ask for an itemised written quotation before committing. Read the cost guide.
Can I begin the conversation from overseas?
You can contact the clinic on WhatsApp to ask about the assessment process. Confirm how to share records before sending personal medical information. Contact details and preparation.
Should I stop my current treatment?
Do not stop or change prescribed treatment based on this website. Discuss any proposed changes with the clinician who manages your care.
Start with a conversation.
Ask about the assessment process, what to prepare and which questions to discuss with your treating clinician.
Questions before your next step.
