Stem cell therapy for disc-related low back pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses your own stem cells to help heal damaged discs in your lower back. The stem cells are injected into the disc during a minimally invasive procedure to reduce pain and improve function.
