Cell therapy for intervertebral disc herniation and degenerative disc disease: clinical trials

Authors: Jordy Schol, Daisuke Sakai

Published in: International Orthopaedics | Issue 4/2019

Abstract

Low back pain is the primary cause of disability and is highly associated with progression of intervertebral disc degeneration. Current treatment options are limited and fail to address the origin of the problem. New advancements in cellular therapies might offer novel and potent strategies for low back pain patients. In this review, we summarize and discuss the contemporary status of in-human trials investigating cellular transplantation for treatment of low back pain. We aim to highlight current trends, shortcomings, and hurdles for effective clinical trials and consecutive commercialization.
