EmCell Stem Cell Center provides programs for children from the age of thee years as well as for adults of any age who are able to travel to us. The main contraindications are active malignancy and active infection. We do not accept every patient, because the potential efficacy of treatment is just as important to us as safety. If we do not see a genuine possibility to help, we do not admit the patient and we never create false expectations about what stem cells can achieve. Above all, we remain committed to caring deeply for the well-being of every patient.
Scientific Background of Stem Cell Application for Chronic Pain
Chronic pain is a multifactorial condition that persists long after the initial injury has healed or, in some cases, arises without a clear underlying cause. It is often driven by a combination of ongoing inflammation, nerve sensitization, tissue degeneration, and impaired healing responses. Conventional approaches to pain management, such as analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or physical therapy, primarily focus on symptom control rather than addressing the biological root causes of the condition.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent a novel biological approach because they can target several key mechanisms involved in chronic pain:
Immunomodulation: MSCs regulate abnormal immune activity, helping to normalize overactive immune responses that sustain chronic inflammation and pain.
Anti-inflammatory Effects: By secreting cytokines, growth factors, and exosomes, MSCs create a more balanced microenvironment, reducing inflammation and promoting tissue homeostasis.
Tissue Repair and Regeneration: MSCs support local repair processes by stimulating the regeneration of cartilage, tendons, muscles, and other soft tissues commonly damaged in chronic pain conditions.
Neuroprotective Actions: MSCs can reduce nerve irritation, protect against further nerve injury, and promote healthier neural signaling, potentially decreasing hypersensitivity to pain stimuli.
Collectively, these properties suggest that stem cell–based interventions may not only alleviate pain but also address its underlying biological drivers. This dual action positions MSCs as a promising therapeutic strategy for patients suffering from chronic pain conditions that have not responded to conventional treatments.

Advanced Cell Therapy Product
Mesenchymal stem cells
Allogeneic stem cells ethically sourced from umbilical cord tissue, a rich source of primitive adult mesenchymal stem cells that retain high proliferative potential.
GMP-compliant manufacturing
GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines provide a quality assurance framework for manufacturing cell therapy products intended for clinical use. Adherence to GMP standards ensures the identity, purity, potency, and overall quality of the cell product.
Cultivation protocol
We use preconditioning strategies to enhance the therapeutic function of MSCs. Low passage numbers are maintained to preserve optimal potency and reduce the associated risk of cancer. Our stem cell products are cultured in xeno-free media.
Safety control
Sterility testing is a crucial step in releasing MSC-based cell therapy products. We conduct safety checks at every stage of production, including microbial testing, endotoxin detection, and viral screening using PCR.
Quality control
Each batch undergoes a quality check that includes morphology control, phenotype analysis, proliferative potential, cell viability, differentiation control, and extracellular vesicle (exosome) secretion, all of which indicate the stability of our cell lines.
Final control before clinical use
Before therapy, we perform final viability and quantity checks on our preparations to ensure their quality. These assessments confirm the health, integrity, and functionality of the cells. Our viability.
No risk of rejection
HUCT mesenchymal stem cells are naturally compatible with the body, so there is no risk of rejection and no need for HLA matching.
Ready-to-use
No invasive procedures are required, no stimulation or depletion of the patient’s own body, and no risk of unsuccessful preparation (cultivation). In contrast, our highly effective mesenchymal stem cells are always available in convenient, ready-to-use dosages designed for safe and effective results.
Secretome
Our bodies are regulated by tiny messengers called secretomes — such as exosomes, cytokines, growth factors, and other active molecules. HUCT mesenchymal stem cells are one of the richest sources of these secretomes, naturally supporting growth, repair, and regeneration.
Expected Benefits of Our Chronic Pain Stem Cell Therapy
For individuals living with chronic pain, even small improvements can make a meaningful difference in daily life. Stem cell–based approaches are designed not only to manage symptoms, but also to support the body’s natural capacity for repair and recovery.
Patients may potentially experience:
- Relief from persistent pain in the joints, back, muscles, or nerves that has not responded well to conventional care.
- Improved mobility and physical function, allowing for greater participation in everyday activities and exercise.
- Promote faster healing from injury and surgery
- Reduction in stiffness and inflammation, leading to smoother movement and less discomfort during rest or activity.
- Better sleep quality, since reduced pain often means fewer nighttime interruptions and deeper rest.
- Enhanced energy, mood, and overall quality of life, as physical relief often translates into improved emotional well-being.
- Decreased reliance on long-term medications, which can minimize the side effects and risks associated with chronic use of pain relievers.
Note: It is important to note that results can vary from person to person, depending on factors such as the underlying condition, overall health, and individual response.

You Probably Have Questions.
We’re Here to Help.
What are the contraindications for stem cell treatment? Can anyone become a patient?
Are there any side effects?
Multiple peer-reviewed studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cells are a safe cell product. At EmCell Stem Cell Center, we have never had any patients report harmful effects from their infusion or a worsening of their condition.
Common short-term side effects immediately following the cell infusion may include fatigue, headache, and nausea. Patients are under direct medical supervision for the entire treatment and a recovery period of 1–2 hours. We have not observed any side effects.
How long does it take to see results?
Patients have reported measurable results within 3–6 months following the program. This is indicated by a marked reduction in systemic inflammation and improvements in overall vitality, as measured by our follow-up questionnaire. However, it is common for patients to notice enhancements in their quality of life and a reduction in symptoms within the first few weeks after their infusion. Every patient is unique, and responses to the program may vary.
What are exosomes?
Exosomes are tiny particles naturally released by cells that carry important signals, proteins, genetic material and factors. They help cells communicate with each other, support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy brain and immune system function.
Why can’t I receive the same stem cell treatments in the USA?
In the United States, stem cell therapies are only available through FDA-approved clinical trials, and full approvals are still years away. U.S. regulations also restrict the number of cells used, since expansion (growing more cells) is not permitted. While some clinics in the U.S. may offer treatments outside these regulations, the key concern is whether patients are receiving safe, certified, and high-quality stem cells.
At EmCell Stem Cell Center, we are fully licensed and authorized by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda and its Stem Cell Oversight Committee, and our laboratory is also licensed by the Ukrainian national regulatory authority to perform expanded stem cell procedures. This enables us to provide patients with millions of high-quality, clinically tested cells per treatment—something not currently available in the United States.
