Question

What is the success rate of stem cell therapy for Long COVID?

No valid universal success rate exists for cell therapy in long COVID. Definitions, natural course and symptoms vary; review randomised comparator, prespecified phenotype, validated function and quality-of-life outcomes, post-exertional effects, adverse events and complete follow-up.

What the evidence shows for Long COVID

Cell-product evidence remains investigational and must specify case definition, prior illness, phenotype, exact product, route, comparator, validated symptom and function outcomes, safety and follow-up. The FDA regenerative-medicine patient page states that these therapies have not been approved in the United States for treatment or prevention of COVID-19 or its complications. A registry entry or biomarker change is not efficacy.
