Hi @kimh, I have not heard of any successful stem cell therapy treatment for PMR. A quick search turned up one reference from a stem cell clinic in Texas that advertises stem cell therapy for PMR using your own fat cells. I for one would never consider any smaller stem cell clinic that is not part of a major health teaching hospital such as Mayo Clinic, John Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, etc.. I do not believe there have been any clinical trials for the procedure that I am aware of so it's really unknown territory and you don't know what the outcome will be. Of course this is my own non medical opinion. It certainly may be on the horizon for treating a lot of different conditions but extracting your own fat cells and processing them takes a really super clean lab and I'm not the trusting kind for a small clinic with a backroom I can't see. 🙂

Here's a couple of articles that kind of talk about it...
