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?

Dr. Shivanshu Mittal · Answer

Evaluation is based on the amount of pain, her functional disability, and stage of osteoarthritis on x-rays. Beyond a certain stage, therapies like stem cell aren't expected to work.

Dr. Deep Chakraborty · Answer

Stem cell therapy is reserved for only early arthritis. Severe arthritis would not benefit.

Dr. Lokesh Garg · Answer

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

Dr. Rufus Vasanth Raj · Answer

Stem Cell Therapy can be PRP, ACS, ADMSCs, BMAC etc

Stage 1, 2 OA and sometimes stage 3 OA may benfit from Stem Cell Therapy. But no concrete evidence on this. Yet its a safe method and can be tried.

stem cell in osteo arthritis is under still in research trails . there is no 100 per guarantee.

Dr. Amit Saoji · Answer

Treatment of knee joint osteoarthritis depends on age, clinical examination and radiological finding (grading of osteoarthritis).

pain is chronic and osteoarthritis garde is 3 /4 .there is no role of conservation management like PRP and all.

Stem cell might help in stage 1 osteoarthritis but not proven yet...

send you details or x-ray-for further management..
