Abstract

To report the effectiveness of stem cell treatment in diabetic neuropathy. This study recruited 83 Iraqi females from 45 to 73 years old who had NIDDM between August 31, 2020 and June 30, 2023. All of them had a "Diabetic neuropathy symptom score (DNS)" (grade 3–4) and a "Diabetic foot sensory neuropathy score" (grade 1-2). They all had HbA1c (10-13%) from 7 to 10 years. The patient/family provided informed permission when they visited the "Al Zahrawy Center for Stem Cells in Baghdad". For four treatment sessions (once every three weeks), Hamad dispersed stem cells around the tibial and deep peroneal nerves. Among 83 Iraqi females, 49 (59.1%) had a grade 4 "Diabetic neuropathy symptom score" upon presentation, which decreased to 24.2% in 20 females after three months of medication. Their "Diabetic foot sensory neuropathy (DNS)" was (54.3%) in 45 females at presentation and decreased to (21.8%) in 18 females after three months of treatment. The satisfaction rate for therapy was 74.6% for the "Diabetic neuropathy symptom score" and 78.3% for "Diabetic foot sensory neuropathy (DNS)". Stem cell therapy is a good treatment option for diabetic neuropathy. The researchers supported it and suggested a greater sample size in other places.
