About the Condition

What is Guillain-Barré Syndrome?

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune disorder of the peripheral nervous system. The immune system — typically triggered by a preceding infection — attacks the myelin sheath and, in some variants, the axons of peripheral nerves. This results in rapidly progressive weakness, sensory disturbance and, in severe cases, respiratory failure requiring ventilation.

Most patients experience partial or full spontaneous recovery over weeks to months. However, up to 20% remain unable to walk at six months, and 60–80% of patients report residual deficits — persistent fatigue, distal weakness, impaired sensation, neuropathic pain or reduced exercise tolerance — that standard rehabilitation does not fully resolve.

Our programme targets these residual deficits. For patients whose recovery has plateaued after the acute phase, cellular therapy provides a biological mechanism to support remyelination, repair axonal damage and accelerate functional recovery beyond what the body achieves on its own.

01

AIDP (Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy)

The most common form in Europe and North America, representing approximately 60–80% of GBS cases. The immune attack targets the myelin sheath surrounding peripheral nerves. Recovery potential is generally favourable as the underlying axons remain largely intact. Demyelination is the primary therapeutic target.

02

AMAN (Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy)

Predominantly affects motor axons without significant demyelination. More common in East Asia and Central/South America. Associated with Campylobacter jejuni infection and anti-ganglioside antibodies (anti-GM1, anti-GD1a). Recovery can be rapid in mild cases but prolonged when axonal degeneration is extensive.

03

AMSAN (Acute Motor-Sensory Axonal Neuropathy)

Affects both motor and sensory axons. Typically the most severe variant with slower, often incomplete recovery. Patients frequently retain significant residual sensorimotor deficits. Represents approximately 5–10% of GBS cases. Axonal regeneration is the primary therapeutic challenge.

04

Miller Fisher Syndrome

Characterised by the clinical triad of ophthalmoplegia (eye movement paralysis), ataxia and areflexia. Accounts for approximately 5% of GBS cases. Associated with anti-GQ1b antibodies. Generally carries a favourable prognosis, though some patients develop residual balance and coordination deficits.

Our program is individually adapted for all subtypes and all stages of progression.

Important: Each patient is accepted into the programme only after a comprehensive individual medical assessment, which evaluates diagnosis, GBS variant, time since onset, current neurological status and recovery trajectory.

Clinical Outcomes

Results From
Our Registry

The following data are derived from structured observational analysis of GBS patients treated at BioCells Medical between 2016 and 2025. All figures represent aggregated clinical registry outcomes with longitudinal follow-up. These are observational results — not randomised controlled trial data — and do not constitute a guarantee of therapeutic effect.

The BioCells Program

How We Treat
Five-Component Protocol

Our GBS programme combines five biological components into a single personalised protocol. Each protocol is constructed following a detailed medical evaluation — accounting for the specific GBS variant, degree of axonal versus demyelinating damage, time since onset and residual functional deficits.

Minimally invasive administration

Treatment is delivered by intravenous infusion or targeted local injection using specialised medical systems — not surgical instruments.

No general anaesthesia

Relevant for GBS patients who may have residual autonomic instability or respiratory vulnerability.

No risk of immune rejection

MSCs are immunoprivileged: they express low levels of HLA-I, lack HLA-II and carry a minimal risk of rejection whether the protocol is autologous or allogeneic. Allogeneic MSC protocols do not require immunosuppression.

Targets the biological barriers to nerve recovery

Rather than relying on passive recovery alone, our protocol addresses residual inflammation, Schwann cell dysfunction and axonal regeneration failure — the biological reasons recovery stalls.

Complements standard rehabilitation

Our programme works alongside physiotherapy, occupational therapy and any existing medication. Patients do not need to discontinue current treatment before commencing our protocol.

Patients from around the world

We work with patients from around the world. Airport transfers, accommodation, visa support and multilingual coordination are included in every treatment programme.

What It Is

T-regs are specialised immune cells that naturally suppress destructive autoimmune processes. In GBS, the immune system attacks peripheral nerve components through molecular mimicry — T-regs restore immune tolerance and prevent continued immune-mediated nerve damage.

How It Is Done

Delivered autologously (from the patient's own blood) or allogeneically (from a certified donor), based on the patient's immune status and clinical assessment. Preparation and quality testing performed in our Warsaw laboratory.

Biological Mechanisms

  • Restore immune tolerance to peripheral nerve antigens
  • Suppress complement-mediated nerve damage
  • Prevent recurrent autoimmune episodes targeting myelin and axons

How This Helps in Guillain-Barré Syndrome

GBS is driven by molecular mimicry — the immune system generates antibodies against infectious agents that cross-react with gangliosides on peripheral nerves. T-regs directly address this mechanism by restoring immune tolerance, suppressing the complement cascade that damages nerve membranes, and reducing the risk of ongoing subclinical immune activity that delays full recovery.

Your Medical Board

The exact combination, dosage, sequencing and delivery method of all five components is determined individually by our medical board for each patient. No two treatment protocols are identical. Your programme is constructed based on your specific GBS variant, time since onset, degree of axonal versus demyelinating damage, current functional status and clinical priorities.

Your protocol is designed individually. Speak with our medical team to understand what your personalised program would include.

Safety Profile

Safety, Eligibility
and Contraindications

Cellular therapy is considered safe when delivered under proper medical supervision and according to validated protocols. In our practice, the procedure is well-tolerated by GBS patients.

Temporary mild reactions — such as transient local discomfort at the infusion site, slight fatigue or low-grade temperature — may occur in a minority of patients. These are typically short-lived and indicate active immune engagement.

A final medical assessment is performed on-site before every treatment session. If a patient's clinical status has changed — including signs of relapse or autonomic instability — the programme may be temporarily modified or postponed for safety reasons.

All contraindications are evaluated individually. A contraindication in one clinical context does not necessarily preclude treatment in a different context — this is always determined by physician assessment.

Standard Contraindications

Active acute infection or fever

Active malignancy or ongoing chemotherapy / radiotherapy

Severe decompensated cardiac or renal failure

Pregnancy

Patients currently in the acute progressive phase of GBS requiring ICU management

Post-Treatment

After Treatment
and Follow-Up

01

Dedicated rehabilitation specialist

monitors motor recovery, sensory status and fatigue levels

02

05

Continued clinical access

our medical team remains available for ongoing reassessment and protocol adjustment

Peripheral nerve regeneration is a gradual biological process. The period following treatment is as medically important as the treatment itself — consistent rehabilitation, monitoring and clinical follow-up are essential for sustained recovery.

Patient Stories

What Our Patients Say

01 / 05

“Eight months after GBS I still needed two crutches and could not button a shirt. We completed the treatment programme. Gradually my grip returned. I started cooking again. Now I use one stick outdoors and nothing indoors. The fatigue went from crushing to manageable.”
