Frequently Asked Questions About Crohn's Disease Stem Cell Therapy
How does stem cell therapy help Crohn's disease?
MSCs reduce intestinal inflammation, promote mucosal healing, modulate the overactive immune response driving Crohn's, and help repair fistulae. Clinical studies show significant improvements in Crohn's Disease Activity Index scores after MSC therapy.
Can stem cell therapy heal Crohn's fistulae?
Yes. MSC therapy has shown remarkable success in healing perianal and enterocutaneous fistulae in Crohn's patients. The EU-approved Alofisel (darvadstrocel) is an MSC-based therapy specifically for Crohn's fistulae, validating this approach.
What improvements can Crohn's patients expect?
Patients commonly report reduced abdominal pain, less frequent bowel movements, improved appetite, weight stabilization, reduced steroid dependency, and significantly improved quality of life within 1-3 months of treatment.
Is stem cell therapy safe for Crohn's disease?
Yes. MSC therapy has been extensively studied in IBD patients with an excellent safety profile. The anti-inflammatory and tissue-repair properties of MSCs make them particularly well-suited for treating intestinal inflammation.
