SCCM Resource Library-Stem Cell Therapy in Ischemic Stroke

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Neeraj Bajatia, Chief of Neurocritical Care at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, discusses the use of stem cell therapy in ischemic stroke. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, and the current focus of stroke therapy is on neuroprotection and neurorepair. Stem cell therapy has the potential to prevent tissue damage and promote the repair of damaged tissue, leading to functional recovery. Different types of stem cells, such as neural stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, and mesenchymal stem cells, have shown promise in stroke therapy. The success of stem cell therapy depends on factors such as the source of stem cells, route of administration, timing of administration, and outcome measurement. Clinical studies have shown that stem cell transplantation in stroke patients is generally safe and may lead to improvements in motor function. However, further research is needed to determine the optimal target population and treatment regimen for stem cell therapy in stroke. Numerous clinical trials are currently underway to explore the potential of stem cell therapy in stroke treatment.
