Abstract

Clinical neurorestorative cell therapies for stroke have been explored for over 20 years. Majority cell therapies have shown neurorestorative effects for stroke on non-double-blind studies. In this review, we summarize types of cell transplantation, transplanted routes, therapeutic time windows, dosage, results of exploring trials or clinical studies, results of multicenter, double-blind or observing-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials. The clinical application prospects of majority cell therapies for stroke need to prove their neurorestorative effects through trials with higher-level evidence-based medical evidence. Currently olfactory ensheathing cell is only one kind of cell to show neurorestorative effects through multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials, which should be explored to optimize themselves effects and combination with others.
