About the Study
Chronic Lumbar Disc Disease (cLDD) can cause symptoms of chronic lower back pain, radiating pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, impacting an individual’s daily activities and ability to work. Common treatments for chronic back pain, such as physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic care, steroid injections, analgesics, and anti-inflammatories, may not be effective long-term treatments for many patients.
This clinical trial will study the safety and efficacy of a single stem cell injection into the lumbar disc area using the stem cells obtained from your blood and bone marrow. Stem cells have anti-inflammatory and reparative properties that may help to regenerate the disc environment. The study will take approximately 26 months, with treatment and early assessments taking place in the first six months, followed by check-ups at one year and two years after treatment.
The study includes trial-related medical examinations, surveys, laboratory work, MRIs, X-rays, and assessments by medical investigators. There will be no cost for participating in the trial, and participants may receive compensation for transportation and the time required to participate.
