Desperate for relief: one patient gets experimental stem cell infusions for chronic pain
NCT ID NCT04711811
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial gave multiple infusions of a patient's own stem cells to treat chronic muscle and joint pain that had lasted at least a year. The patient received six infusions over about 32 weeks, with safety checks and pain scores tracked throughout. The goal was to see if this approach could safely ease pain and improve daily life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
patient's own stem cells (Hope Biosciences adipose derived autologous mesenchymal stem cells)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to reduce chronic pain without long-term medication.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early access program for just one patient, so results may not apply to others. The treatment is still experimental and unproven.
