Neurologic Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cell Treatment Study
MD Stem Cells
Summary
This is a human clinical study involving the isolation of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSC) and transfer to the vascular system and inferior 1/3 of the nasal passages in order to determine if such a treatment will provide improvement in neurologic function for patients with certain neurologic conditions. http://mdstemcells.com/nest/
Description
Various clinical studies have registered with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study neurologic diseases and damage. There have also been a number of journal reports of the benefits of treatment with BMSC for diseases and damage to nervous tissue. The investigators hope to add to the volume of literature regarding the use of BMSC in those neurologic diseases and conditions identified as likely to respond to this treatment. Intravenous administration of BMSC is a well-established approach to neurologic disease and injury with much support for its effectiveness in the pre-clinical and…

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Have documented functional damage to the central or peripheral nervous system unlikely to improve with present standard of care. 2. Be at least 6 months post-onset of the disease. 3. If under current medical therapy (pharmacologic or surgical treatment) for the condition be considered stable on that treatment and unlikely to have reversal of the associated neurologic functional damage as a result of the ongoing pharmacologic or surgical treatment. 4. In the estimation of Dr. Weiss and the neurologists have the potential for improvement with BMSC treatment and be at mini…
