Hello,
Stem cell is being offered by many centres but is most effective in traumatic cases of recent onset.

Brief Answer:
Stem cell therapy is not approved yet and so cannot be advised from this forum

Hello,
FDA doesn't approve any stem cell therapy in paralysis.
Claims by stem cell therapy provider are not accurate.
No pill therapy is approved.
The treatment choice depends upon patient.
Not ethical to provide or claim false benefits of stem cell.
