Autologous bone marrow stem cell therapy ,BMAC 무릎줄기세포주사)) The knee has recently been recognized as an innovative medical treatment, which shows significant effectiveness in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.
Eight studies on BMAC (무릎줄기세포주사) injection, officially approved as a new medical technique in South Korea last year, have demonstrated their effectiveness in reducing the knee osteoarthritis pain. In cases up to mid-step arthritis cases, 94.4% of patients got relief from considerable pain.
The specific treatment process for osteoarthritis of the knee begins with non-surgical pain management methods. As the situation progresses, the replacement of the total knee requires surgery. Because effective pain control can significantly delay the need for surgery, continuous research has been done to develop new remedies – in which BMAC injections stand out.
Previously, corticosteroid injections were usually prescribed to manage the pain of the knee arthritis. However, recent studies have shown that steroid injections can actually accelerate joint degeneration.
The MRI scan of arthritis patients showed that people who receive steroid injections experience the rapid decline of cartilage and surrounding tissue.
Researchers have warned that when steroid injections can provide relief from short -term pain, they can promote long -term damage to knee tissue. In particular, increased cartilage degeneration and swelling were observed.
As a result, medical experts are now urging patients who have been prescribed steroid injection for alternative, safe, and more effective treatment options such as BMACs (steroids injections for knee arthritis pain (무릎줄기세포주사) Therapy.
