What is the success rate of stem cell therapy for Stroke Recovery?
No universal success rate exists. Review stroke type and time since event, exact product and route, randomised comparator, blinded validated motor, language, cognitive and daily-function outcomes, mortality, recurrent stroke, serious adverse events and complete follow-up.
What the evidence shows for Stroke Recovery
Recovery varies with stroke type, location, size, time, complications and rehabilitation. Early-phase cell studies primarily assess feasibility and safety; uncontrolled functional change cannot separate the product from spontaneous recovery and rehabilitation. The NINDS stroke-recovery guide identifies rehabilitation as central to recovery, while the FDA consumer alert states that the promoted regenerative products it addresses are not approved in the United States to treat stroke.
