- Progressive neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease that get worse it not treated during their initial stages
- Vascular disorders that affect the normal flow of fresh blood in the brain
- Traumatic brain injuries due to an accident or fall
- Infections such as meningitis that harms the nervous system
- Prolonged use of drugs and alcohol
- Tumor and buildup of fluid in the brain
Depending on the area of the damage, dementia varies in severity and with different symptoms. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the main reason behind the onset of dementia in older individuals. With cell treatment for dementia in India at Neurogen BSI, many dementia symptoms can be treated.
Symptoms
Symptoms of dementia vary depending on the severity of the disease. Some of the common signs and symptoms include:
- Memory loss
- Difficulty in finding the right words for communication
- Difficulty with spatial abilities

Diagnosis
There is no single test to diagnose dementia in individuals. The doctors at the Neurogen BSI run several tests to pinpoint the extent of the problem. They examine the medical history, conduct a physical examination and evaluate the symptoms and the cognitive function. They also consider the attention, language, visual perception, movement, balance and reflexes to provide apt treatment options for regaining the lost skills. The diagnosis protocol also includes scans such as:
- CT or MRI scans to check for the possibility of a tumor, bleeding or clot formation in brain tissue and evidence of stroke
- PET scans to visualize the patterns of brain activity and to detect deposits of amyloid protein in the brain.
Dementia Care at Neurogen BSI
Inaugurated on 17th December 2008 with a sole intention to treat those with neuromuscular disorders, Neurogen BSI has a team of clinical specialists and staff who manage the operations and administration. The core team consists of highly specialized renowned experts who are determined to treat for the best results. They use quality interactions, attention and the best cell treatment for dementia to their patients.
The neurosurgeons harness the potentials of the bone marrow-derived stem cells to treat numeral progressive neurological disorders and diseases. These cells when infused in the spinal area, travel to the brain to replace the damaged cells. They anchor into the tissue and multiple creating fresh healthy brain cells.
