Muscular Dystrophy (MD) — a group of genetic conditions causing progressive muscle weakness, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) — is under-diagnosed across Nigeria due to limited access to genetic testing and specialist neuromuscular care. Stem Cell Cure India works with Nigerian families exploring stem cell therapy as a complementary option alongside physiotherapy and standard neuromuscular care.
Genetic testing, specialist neuromuscular clinics, and multidisciplinary MD care (physiotherapy, cardiac and respiratory monitoring) are concentrated in a small number of Nigerian centres. Many families travel abroad for a combination of specialist neurology input and regenerative treatment options to explore alongside their existing care plan.
Dr. Tyagi leads the regenerative medicine protocol design at Stem Cell Cure India, overseeing stem cell sourcing, lab processing, and treatment planning for patients — including those travelling from Nigeria .
Dr. Goyal brings extensive experience across major hospitals including Medanta, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, and Apollo Delhi, with particular expertise in neuro-muscular and neuro-critical care conditions relevant to this treatment area
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are studied for their potential to support muscle tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and potentially help slow functional decline in some patients with muscular dystrophy. This is explored as a complementary approach — MD is a genetic condition, and stem cell therapy does not correct the underlying genetic cause, but is studied for its potential supportive role alongside standard care.
Suitability depends on the specific type and stage of muscular dystrophy. Before travelling, our team reviews:
No. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic condition, and stem cell therapy does not correct the underlying genetic cause. It is explored as a complementary option that may help support muscle function, alongside standard neuromuscular care.
Patients with DMD are evaluated individually, with particular attention to cardiac and respiratory function. Please share recent cardiac and respiratory assessments along with your child's diagnosis details.
Genetic testing or diagnosis confirmation if available, recent mobility/strength assessment, and cardiac/respiratory function reports. This allows our team to give an initial opinion before you commit to travel.
Most families stay between 7 and 10 days, depending on the treatment plan and any additional evaluation required.
Yes. Once treatment is confirmed, we provide the invitation and supporting documents Nigerian citizens need to apply for a Medical Visa through the Indian High Commission in Abuja or Consulate in Lagos.
Cost depends on the treatment plan required. Contact us for a personalised quote after sharing your medical history and diagnosis details.
