Stem Cell Therapy: A Potential Game-Changer for Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints. It causes back pain, stiffness, and fatigue that can seriously impact quality of life. While current treatments may provide symptomatic relief, they do little to slow disease progression. However, new research indicates stem cell therapy has promising potential as a revolutionary treatment for AS by targeting inflammation and repairing damage to joints and bones. This article explores how stem cell therapy works, clinical trial results, and what the future may hold for using this regenerative approach to possibly alter the course of AS.
