For stroke patients, the continuous improvement of emergency treatment is indeed good news, but how to reduce sequelae and improve the degree of recovery in the prime time after saving their lives is critical to the quality of life of patients in the future. When it comes to recovery after a stroke, we have to mention the brand-new treatment of stem cells.
In recent years, many countries or regions have invested in research on the treatment of stroke patients with stem cell drugs. The principle is to allow stem cells to reach the patient’s brain, eliminate neuroinflammation and promote nerve repair. At present, a lot of evaluation work on product safety and effectiveness has been accumulated in this field, and the third phase of clinical trials has been carried out, and the formal application is getting closer and closer.
In neighboring Taiwan, a university medical school team has completed the first phase of human clinical trials using human autologous olfactory ensheathing stem cells and injecting them into cerebral infarction sites to treat stroke; there is also a hospital obstetrics and gynecology research team trying to use amniotic fluid stem cell exosomes (Exosome) to treat stroke patients.
Not only for stroke, looking forward to the future, the powerful anti-inflammatory and repairing functions of stem cells can also be applied to Parkinson’s disease, nerve repair in patients with spinal cord injuries, people with gradual freezing, and various chronic degenerative diseases (such as degenerative arthritis). It can be said that there is a lot of room for development. At present, the field of stem cell therapy is still being researched and developed. As long as the medical community continues to make breakthroughs in the understanding of stem cell mechanism and cell technology, unlimited possibilities will be opened up in the future.
