What has been the success of Stem Cell Therapy with the curing of neuropathy
I’d like to know if stem cell research has had any success with PN
Will stem cell treatment help spinal cord conditions
What is the answer to Frank Moores question about stem cells & neuropathy?
Hi @21msmonrow @gordy1 @bthoraon @frankmoore,
One of the focus areas of Mayo Clinic's Regenerative Medicine Program is in neuroregeneration. You can read more here: https://www.mayo.edu/research/centers-programs/center-regenerative-medicine/focus-areas/neuroregeneration
Scroll down the page and you can read clinical research being done specifically for peripheral nerve regeneration and repair.
Unfortunately, because of the complexity of the brain and spinal cord, little spontaneous regeneration, repair or healing occurs. Therefore, brain damage, paralysis from spinal cord injury and peripheral nerve damage are often permanent and incapacitating.
It is important to add it is so important to do your homework and due diligence when researching new treatment options. Stem cells offer a lot of hope. But where these is hope, there is hype and charlatans.
