What the studies found
Stem cell treatment has been studied for Lewy body dementia in animals, not yet in people.
We found 10 published papers on Stem cell treatment and Lewy body dementia. They were published between 2012 and 2025.
0 of them are studies in people (0 randomised trials), 3 are reviews, 2 are studies in animals and 4 are studies only in the lab.
The most important ones are listed under Sources.
What this means for you: Results in animals or in cells often do not hold in people. Do not stop or change your medicines because of it. Ask your doctor before you start taking it.
