Of course, no treatment is without complications, and stem cell therapy is the same. However, despite its novelty, mesenchymal stem cell therapy has limited side effects, if used properly, with comparable general side effects to those experienced with regular blood transfusion or foreign organ transplantation (ex. allergic reactions, cell rejection, or fever). Additionally, in studies specifically studying stem cell therapy in patients with Muscular Dystrophy, no significant side effects were reported and none were life-threatening or had life-long consequences when mesenchymal stem cells were used (10). They were also easily managed medically at the time of their occurrence.
