@billyutley, Unfortunately I think stem cell therapy for neuropathy is under the not happening in my lifetime category. There are a lot of stem cell therapy clinics that the FDA warns us about but I have yet to find a stem cell therapy clinical trial or for that matter anyone saying their neuropathy has been cured by stem cell therapy. I went to a meeting of the Minnesota Neuropathy Association in August 2018 to listen to a researcher who had been studying stem cell therapy for neuropathy and traveled around the world talking with scientists and medical experts. What I took a lot of notes and what I gleaned from the meeting was the one area with a lot of hope was stem cell treatment for diabetic neuropathy. Here are my notes from the meeting which contains links to referenced studies and papers along with the FDA's information on stem cell treatments.

Not sure if you are aware of Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) but it is a great tool for finding medical research information. Here's the link for a search on "stem cell therapy +diabetic neuropathy" -- https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2021&q=stem+cell+therapy+%2Bdiabetic+neuropathy&hl=en&as_sdt=0,24
