No cell therapy for fibromyalgia has FDA approval or even phase II trial status in the United States. The field is entirely pre-regulatory, and most centres offering treatment operate outside formal clinical trial frameworks.
Fibromyalgia is a disorder of central pain processing characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance, often accompanied by cognitive difficulties ('fibro fog'). No primary tissue damage is evident; instead, dysregulation of pain-signal amplification in the spinal cord and brain—low serotonin, elevated substance P, sensitised pain receptors—perpetuates the syndrome. The condition predominantly affects women and is often triggered by trauma, infection, or stress. Cell therapy exploration in fibromyalgia is nascent; placental MSCs and their secreted exosomes are being investigated for immunomodulatory properties (shifting immune response away from pro-inflammatory cytokine production) and for potential neuromodulation through delivery of anti-inflammatory molecules to the central nervous system. The hypothesis is that systemic cellular or exosome infusion might dampen the amplified pain state and restore normal sleep and mood regulation.
