Clinical trials and stem cell treatments

We are unable to give advice on, or recommend a specific treatment or clinical trial. We can however direct you to reliable sources for further information:

www.closerlookatstemcells.org - the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) has developed this website to arm patients, their families and doctors with information they need to make decisions about stem cell treatments. It also includes a patient handbook that contains advice about what you need to think about before participating in any relevant trial in the future and helps you assess whether a private clinic's treatment is safe, legitimate and effective. 

www.clinicaltrials.gov - this website is a service of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and lists the clinical trials conducted in the United States and around the world. It gives you information about a trial's purpose, who may participate, locations, and phone numbers for more details. However, please note that this website isn't always up to date and does not assess whether a treatment is safe and legitimate.
