TREATMENT OF PAIN USING AMNION DERIVED ADHERENT CELLS

摘要

Provided herein are methods of treatment of an individual having pain, e.g., neuropathic pain, comprising administering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of tissue culture plastic adherent amnion-derived cells (AMDACs). Because mammalian placentas are plentiful and are normally discarded as medical waste, they represent a unique source of medically-useful stem cells.

主权项

1. A method of treating pain in an individual, comprising administering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of OCT-4−, tissue culture surface-adherent amnion-derived adherent cells (AMDACs), or culture medium conditioned by AMDACs, wherein the therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient to cause a detectable improvement in said pain.
