Phrenic Nerve damage and paralyzed diaphragm: Anyone else have this?

@watermann. I haven't heard about using stem cells to treat a damaged phrenic nerve or paralyzed diaphragm. Would you please post information about it? Thanks. I'm sure the 950+ on the facebook page for people with paralyzed diaphragms will be really interested in it too. I'll post it there or you might join the group and paste it there yourself if you're so inclined. It's a great group, and I've learned so much about this condition, dealing with symptoms, and treatment options. Using stem cells is a new to me intriguing possibility, and I wonder who is doing it and how it works. Thanks. Nancy

You can stay up to date on Mayo Clinic’s advances in regenerative medicine and nerve regeneration on this website:
- Center for Regenerative Medicine https://www.mayo.edu/research/centers-programs/center-regenerative-medicine/about
Neuroregeneration (stem cell therapy) is a focus area of study at Mayo Clinic. You can read more about it here: https://www.mayo.edu/research/centers-programs/center-regenerative-medicine/focus-areas/neuroregeneration
There is a great deal of hope and a great deal of hype about stem cell treatment. There are many fraudsters out there. That is why Mayo Clinic offers a free consult service. When you call the consult service, they will tell you about the availability of approved stem cell therapy at Mayo Clinic and elsewhere, and for what conditions. They can also tell you about research studies that are actively recruiting participants. Furthermore, you can add your name to a database to be notified when additional studies and information become available. You can learn more about the Consult Service here http://www.mayo.edu/research/centers-programs/center-regenerative-medicine/patient-care/clinical-services/regenerative-medicine-consult-service.
Or call 1-844-276-2003 to speak with one of Mayo's experts.
