Does Stem Cell Therapy work for Neuropathy?

I've had blood work, numerous EMG's and no real information or diagnosis on what type I have, how I got it, or where to get any help, other than prescribe Gabapentin. I keep asking and suggesting being tested for nerve damage from a spinal fusion I had in my low back in 2002. I never had any sort of foot pain or issues prior to that and from that point on, things just keep getting worse. My husband and I saw a documentary about stem cell therapy either on Amazon, Netflix or YouTube. You can probably google it, however, I couldn't find it again. They talked convincingly about stem cell ltherapy for MS and many other health issuesl. I'd really be interested in seeing if it could help.

@pjfrahm, I think there have been successful stem cell treatments for some health conditions but neuropathy is not one of them. From what I have learned the science is not there yet and there have been no clinical trials specifically for neuropathy. I think there has been research done on animals with some success so there is still hope. I would love to hear different from anyone who can provide evidence.

Here is a post earlier with some of the research links that have been shared here on Connect.
