Living With Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is an uncommon, neurodegenerative brain disease that significantly impacts your motor control. It typically affects people over the age of 60 and occurs due to progressive damage in the brain cells that are located just above the nerves, controlling eye movement. Brain damage occurs due to the presence of abnormal tau proteins in the brain, leading to severe motor and cognitive impairments.
While PSP can be linked to certain genes, it is not a hereditary condition. It is also known as Steele-Richardson-Olszewski Syndrome.
Stem Cell Treatment for PSP in India
Autologous stem cell therapy for PSP can help treat the disorder at its root cause.
At Plexus, we use autologous mesenchymal stem cells, which can take on the function of any cell and accelerate healing at the cellular level. They can help rebuild degenerated brain cells and improve the overall functioning of the patient.
We use autologous stem cells taken from the patient’s own body. The procedure is conducted by Dr. Sadiq, India’s no. 1 stem cell specialist, and his team of highly-skilled and experienced stem cell specialists.

PSP Differential Diagnosis
The clinical presentation of some neurodegenerative conditions can overlap with PSP. These diseases include:

What our patients say
Vinit Saha
Despite the challenges my father faced with progressive supranuclear palsy, including difficulty walking, maintaining balance, and standing, he experienced frequent falls and struggled to rise unaided. When all seemed lost and hope was scarce, Plexus welcomed my father with open arms. Choosing Plexus was a decision akin to witnessing a miracle, and I'm immensely grateful I took that leap of faith. Their tailored approach not only addressed my father's specific needs but also facilitated his independence in daily activities, a pivotal concern for our family.
