Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Hello @ndttech, welcome to Mayo Clnic Connect. I've not heard of Wharton's jelly injections for PN but I did find some information that may help. I'm not sure there has been any clinical trials for stem cell therapy for peripheral neuropathy. There have been a lot of clinics popping up all over the country touting stem cell therapy treatments which is why the FDA put out a warning. I think stem cell therapy holds a lot of hope but I don't think it's quite there yet. I would want to see some extensive clinical trials that show it works.

Thank you John. This is very useful information.
I followed all links and the articles are very positive about the potential benefits of Wharton's Jelly injections for diabetics and PN.
Looks like a human clinical study was done in China with very positive outcome.
If you hear of any human trials here, I would volunteer.
