What practical checkpoint should parents use to compare Clinic A (high travel) using autologous bone marrow versus Clinic B (moderate travel) using allogeneic MSCs?

Justifying the added stress of traveling to Country X (Clinic A) based on a truly superior or unique clinical approach.

The text advocates for a practical, comparative matrix when deciding between international treatment options that differ in logistics and cell sourcing. If a family faces a high travel burden to reach Clinic A using minimally processed autologous bone marrow, while Clinic B offers advanced, expanded, allogeneic MSCs with substantial preclinical backing but requires moderate travel, the logistical stress of the farther trip must be rigorously justified. The justification should not be based merely on convenience or price point, but rather on evidence suggesting that Clinic A's specific, unique clinical approach or claimed outcome superiority warrants the increased travel burden and associated difficulties for the family and child.
