Filter by:This is an Individual Patient Expanded Access IND providing multiple administrations of HBadMSCs for the treatment of Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain. The study duration is approximately 32 weeks, during that time the study subject will complete 1 screening visit, 6 infusion visits, one follow-up visit without infusion and one end of study visit. Next day telephone follow-up visits will occur following each infusion. Efficacy and safety labs as well as quality of life and VAS scores will be obtained.
PhotoBioModulation (PBM) is a mature science with therapeutic efficacy in humans and animals, and with excellent results in different medical specialties without side effects. However there are gaps that prevent adoption on a large scale. Recent research developed by our group and partners allowed us to understand the mechanisms of action of PBM, from Molecular Physics through Biochemistry and with consequent clinical validation, with precise, replicable and personalized therapeutic results. These findings have led to treatments for many kinds of pains with industrial predictability and accuracy, phenotypic adequacy technologies that are encapsulated, prescribed, and applied. Photobiomodulation applications cover treatments for pain, inflammation, tissue regeneration, healing, immune system activation, all of which are essential characteristics for osteoarthritis therapy. Our idea is to formulate great challenges of Photobiomodulation as a solution to osteoarthritis as follows: 1) Make PBM-based therapies as predictable as drug-based therapies; this is possible with precise dose calculation performed by our team; 2) Map the biochemical and molecular effects of PBM, including those related to gene expression; 3) Unify PBM theory by synthesizing and giving meaning to the millions of PBM data associated with osteoarthritis and correlating with clinical study to be performed under this thematic project. Overcoming these challenges, PBM will become a complementary (or supplementary) alternative to medications, physiotherapy and surgical procedures for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Regional anesthesia is a safe, inexpensive technique, with the advantage of prolonged pain relief. In the pain clinic the investigators perform different injections as the standard treatment for chronic pain based on the diagnosis and indications. Local anesthetic like Bupivacaine with or without Steroids (Depo-medrol) is used for these injections. The investigators' goal is comparing pain control in different groups adding the magnesium sulfate 100mg to our compounds as an inexpensive, effective, and safe adjuvant to prolong the duration of analgesia and reduce the amount of narcotic dose.
