Stem Cell Therapy


Stem cell therapy has been in the public eye recently for treatment of many orthopedic conditions including arthritis. A group recently performed a meta review of the current research on stem cell therapies and found many promising results. We have begun to see more stem cell therapies reaching the general population in the clinical arena. Most of these studies however focus on anecdotal experiences and not empirical data such as measurements of cartilage layers. So despite the significant advances in the arena of stem cell injectables, there is a need for “ additional high-powered and well-designed clinical trials to confirm the safety and efficacy of treatment”.
