Does Stem Cell Therapy work for Neuropathy?

My wife of 42 years has neuropathy in her feet and it seems in just the past two years it’s getting harder for her to even walk. Can anyone tell me if stem cell therapy actually works before we waste thousands of dollars on something that lays claim with no results. We have tried everything and all the doctors want to do is give her pain killers. Thanks Dave

Hello @dsemloh, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. As promising as stem cell research is for a lot of things, I don't believe there has been any successful treatments for neuropathy. There are also some warnings about all the stem cell clinics popping up.

Does the pain make it harder for your wife to walk?

I have tried stem cell for neuropathy in my feet and legs I got shots in both legs and so far after five months it doesn’t look like it has worked.
