- Clinical Trials: Clinical trials, such as those involving mesenchymal stem cells, have shown positive results but require further research.
- Risks and Costs: HSCT involves immunosuppressive drugs, which carry risks, and treatments can be costly and are often not covered by insurance.
- Global Options: Some seek treatment abroad, but it's important to research and be cautious of unregulated clinics.
