What the FDA Says About Regenerative Therapies
The FDA has not approved regenerative medicine therapies for chronic pain or orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, disc disease, back pain, or knee pain. That includes therapies marketed as stem cell treatments. The source and processing of a proposed product matter, and a listing on a trial registry is not proof of FDA approval.
- Ask for the exact name, source, and regulatory status of any proposed product
- Ask which clinical studies apply to your condition and what benefit is realistic
- Discuss infection, immune reaction, and other potential risks
- Compare established pain care options before deciding
