Q2. How Effective is stem cell therapy?

• The efficacy of the therapy depends upon multiple
  factors such as the number of stem cells used,
  the number of cycles, the duration between each
  cycle, the supported therapies, the age of the
  patient and the source of the stem cell.
• Rather than a statistical number of success
  rates, you should try to understand the expected
  efficacy for your patient based on the protocol
  used by your therapist.
• In the whole process, you will also get to
  understand the design approach and protocol of
  your therapist with respect to the number of
  cells, the number of cycles, the time gap between
  each cycle, etc.

• Try to see the evidence in terms of case studies
  or testimonials of similar cases that are handled
  by your preferred practitioner and check if the
  previous patients are able to get promised
  results or not.
• The reason behind this is the fact that stem cell
  therapy is still an ongoing research area and
  there are no established protocols which are yet
  established.

• You should discuss both positive and negative
  side effects that you should expect during and
  after the procedure.
