Hi, my mother has Osteoarthritis and thus she suffers from chronic knee pain. Just wanted to know how effective stem cell therapy may be in her case. I also have a few doubts listed below: What are the benefits of stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (if any)? What is the down-time after the procedure? My mother is a teacher and doesn't have the provision to take too many leaves. How much a procedure like this likely to cost?

Answered on 23rd May '24

I my opinion

stem cell therapy is still not recommended in osteoarthritis

though stem cell therapy is undergoing research

if early osteoarthritis then physiotherapy and life style changes

if symptoms are too much and high grade osteoarthritis then go for joint replacement
