Is Adult Stem Cell therapy approved by the US FDA?
Yes, adult stem cell therapy is approved for various conditions and treatments. Stem cell companies work with hospitals and go through clinical trials. There are Phase I, Phase II and Phase III of these trials, the purpose of which is to ensure safety and efficacy – in other words that patients truly benefit. There are currently 746 Clinical trials underway in the United States alone. However, a patient must be accepted into a clinical trial under very strict guidelines, therefore many patients are denied treatment. The European Union has also approved Adult Stem Cell therapy in countries like Germany, Austria, and Switzerland to name a few. Again, specific stem cell companies work with hospitals to get approval for specific conditions, like urinary incontinence. However, the approval process is more efficient in the EU and Asia allowing for a broader array of patient options. You can request clinical information for your specific condition.
