@12061948, I'm sorry if you misunderstood. I was specifically addressing stem cell treatments as they relate to treating peripheral neuropathy and there has been zero successful treatments as far as I know. If you know otherwise I would love to hear about it. Mayo Clinic is doing a lot of research and also doing a lot of stem cell treatments for arthritis and knees but I don't know of any clinical trials being done for PN. Here is one of their announcements:
Mayo Clinic finds surprising results on first-ever test of stem cell therapy to treat arthritis

We had a guest speaker at the last meeting for the Minnesota Neuropathy Association that addressed the research being done across the spectrum for stem cell treatments. He closed his speech by telling us there is still some work to be done before stem cells can be used to treat neuropathy. I attached my notes from the meeting.
If I had the money, I would probably get a stem cell treatment for my bone on bone knee to see if it works. Mayo Clinic has done a lot in this area.

I thought I came across that in my research too.
Also here in Houston Methodist hospital is doing research and some treatments with stem cells.
Just has to be reputable clinic.
