Stem cell treatment knee arthritis Chennai. See this patient’s testimonial
Fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis is a relatively new and promising therapy that is being investigated as a potential way to regenerate damaged cartilage and alleviate pain.
What are stem cells?
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to divide and give rise to specialized cells. They can be found in various parts of the body, including bone marrow, adipose tissue (fat), and umbilical cord blood. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are particularly attractive for stem cell therapy because they are relatively easy to harvest and have the potential to differentiate into multiple cell types, including cartilage cells.
How does fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis work?
The fat-derived stem cells are harvested from the patient’s own body, typically from the abdomen or thigh. The cells are then processed and concentrated in a laboratory. The concentrated stem cells are then injected into the knee joint. Once injected into the knee, the stem cells are believed to have several potential therapeutic effects: Reduce inflammation: Stem cells release anti-inflammatory factors that can help to reduce pain and swelling. Promote cartilage repair: Stem cells may differentiate into cartilage cells and help to repair damaged cartilage. Improve lubrication: Stem cells may help to produce synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint.
What is the evidence for fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis?
There is growing evidence that fat-derived stem cell treatment is safe and effective for knee osteoarthritis. However, more research is needed to determine the long-term efficacy of this treatment. A 2021 study published in the journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy found that intra-articular injection of ADSCs was safe and effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. A 2020 study published in the journal Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy found that intra-articular injection of ADSCs with or without platelet-rich plasma was effective in decreasing pain and symptoms in knee osteoarthritis.
What are the risks and side effects of fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis?
The most common side effects of fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis are injection site pain and swelling. Overall, fat-derived stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis is a promising new therapy that has the potential to improve symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
