Hey there-

Not to burst anyone's bubble or anything, but I would have to agree with this response. There is really no research (at all!) on any sort of treatment for RSD with stem cells. It is hard enough to treat diseases with stem cells where the etiology is clearly known, let alone a disease/disorder where the causal factors are unknown. It is also important to note that any treatment for any condition with stem cells right now would be an experimental procedure. There are no approved treatments for any condition that involve stem cells. There are experimental trials that have been green-lit, but no actual therapies have been approved. Stem cell therapy usually involves using these cells to kind of "replace" defective cells, or regrow cells that have died off for some reason. (Like with Parkinson's- dopaminergic cells in the substantia nigra die off, and these can theoretically be replaced by undifferentiated stem cells.) And for right now, there is no indication that this would help RSD, because no one really knows what causes it. Hope this helps to clarify things a bit.
