Carlos Tesch - TBI Stem Cell Patient
Carlos was born healthy and had wonderful young life. When he was 12 he suffered a crushing traumatic brain injury. He died on the table but doctors were able to resuscitate him. Since that time he has had numerous treatments around the world aimed at improving his development and repairing the damage done to his brain. Carlos has received two rounds of umbilical cord blood stem cell transplants in China over the past two years. In this interview shot at the end of Carlos' first round of transplants his father discusses the improvements in his condition they saw during the treatments.

About this data
Patients self-assess each symptom on a 5-point scale (Worse / No improvement / Small / Moderate / Significant) at follow-up checkpoints after treatment, comparing to their pre-treatment baseline. "Reported improvement" combines the small, moderate and significant buckets. Data is updated daily from our internal patient registry. As with any medical treatment, past results do not guarantee future outcomes — improvements vary from patient to patient.
