“干细胞旅游”是一种向患者提供未经证实的细胞制剂作为批准疗法的做法，在神经病学领域正在兴起。目前，在美国，患者的经历和报告的这些手术并发症尚不清楚。我们评估学术神经科医生在干细胞旅游方面的经验，并评估与患者讨论该主题的能力。我们发现神经科医生缺乏与患者讨论干细胞疗法的准备，而且这些不受监管的手术产生的未报告并发症清单令人震惊。我们还确定迫切需要神经科医师教育和建立国家登记处来报告实验性干细胞干预引起的患者并发症。安神经学 2020
"Stem cell tourism," the practice of offering unproven cellular preparations to patients as approved therapy, is rising in neurology. Currently, the experiences of patients and reported complications from these procedures are unknown in the United States. We evaluate academic neurologists' experiences with stem cell tourism and assess perceived competency on discussing this topic with patients. We found a lack of neurologist preparedness to discuss stem cell therapies with patients and an alarming list of unreported complications from these unregulated procedures. We also identified an urgent need for neurologist education and the creation of a national registry for reporting patient complications resulting from experimental stem cell interventions.
