Over 25% of adults in the US are affected by knee pain, and it can affect individuals of any age group. Sometimes due to overburdening, unexpected trauma, or injuries; the muscles, ligaments, tendons, or cartilage can secrete certain biochemicals that result in an inflammatory reaction leading to tissue damage. Conventional medications for pain and injuries have reported side effects and complications in the long run, leaving scope for alternative treatment.
The conventional medication, for knee injuries generally dictates surgical rejuvenation or reconstruction of damaged tissue as the only available prospect for knee injury treatment. These surgical procedures lead to various complex problems. It's high time that other alternative treatments, such as stem cell therapy are explored.
Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells have also been used in stem cell treatments. In a clinical study for rheumatoid arthritis, researchers suggest the therapeutic abilities of umbilical cord tissue-derived MSCs for the treatment. The study reported a significant decrease in Inflammation and joint deformity recovery, and the pain was reduced significantly.
