Intravenous infusion needs minimal acute recovery. Any motor change would be slow and incomplete, over months, if cells provide neuroprotection. Patients often receive approved therapies before or alongside; interactions are unexplored. There is no period in which SMA reverses; progressive decline is expected despite intervention.
Five registered trials and 1 recruiting study address stem-cell therapy in SMA — the smallest landscape among the conditions here. Published data are sparse and largely single-centre observational. Some describe stabilisation or slowed decline over 6–12 months; others minimal change. SMA's rapid natural progression makes any stability potentially notable, but separating stem-cell effects from approved disease-modifying therapies (nusinersen, gene therapy) is difficult without controls. No trial has reversed motor-neuron loss.
