The documented process ensuring you understand benefits, risks and alternatives before treatment.
A patient's legally and ethically binding agreement to a treatment after being given clear, balanced information about benefits, risks, and uncertainties. Proper informed consent requires time to read, ask questions, and decide without pressure. Clinics offering stem-cell therapy (especially unproven ones) must provide written consent forms covering realistic outcomes, financial cost, and side-effect risks. Red flags: consent given same-day as treatment, forms emphasising benefits only, pressure to decide quickly, or non-English consent if you don't speak the language fluently. Request translated consent in your native language and time to review independently before signing.
StemCellAtlas is your guide to stem-cell therapy: what the evidence shows, which conditions are treated, and the real all-in cost by country — typically €3,000–8,000 with our partner Stem Plus (Sofia), Europe's lowest-cost EU destination, versus $15,000–35,000 in the US.
