Case Studies
Stem Cell Therapy for Osteoarthritis:
A systematic review published in Osteoarthritis and Cartilage evaluated multiple studies involving 2,390 patients treated with stem cells for osteoarthritis, providing insights into the efficacy of such treatments. (OARSI Journal)
The Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics published a systematic review focusing on the clinical and functional outcomes of mesenchymal stem cell application in early to moderate knee osteoarthritis. (SpringerOpen)
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Rotator Cuff Injuries:
A study in BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders explored the efficacy of PRP injections in patients with rotator cuff tears who had not responded to conservative treatments, highlighting improvements in pain and function. (BioMed Central)
The Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research reviewed the management of rotator cuff injuries using allogenic PRP, discussing its potential benefits and limitations.
Stem Cell Therapy for Degenerative Disc Disease
Patient Background: A 45-year-old individual with chronic low back pain attributed to degenerative disc disease sought alternatives after conventional treatments failed to provide relief.
Treatment Approach: The patient received an intradiscal injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) aimed at promoting disc regeneration and alleviating pain.
(The Spine Journal Clevel and Clinic Med)
Results:
Over a 12-month period, the patient reported significant reductions in pain and improvements in mobility.
Imaging studies indicated signs of disc regeneration.
Stem Cell Therapy for Peripheral Neuropathy
Patient Background: A 60-year-old individual with diabetic peripheral neuropathy experienced severe foot pain and numbness, unresponsive to standard treatments.
Treatment Approach: The patient received injections of autologous stem cells to promote nerve regeneration and restore function.
Results:
Over several months, the patient reported reduced pain and improved sensation in the feet.
Electrophysiological tests indicated enhanced nerve function.
