What the studies found
Stem cell treatment has been studied in people with Tuberculosis, but not in randomised trials.
We found 77 published papers on Stem cell treatment and Tuberculosis. They were published between 2000 and 2026.
1 of them are studies in people (0 randomised trials), 16 are reviews, 13 are studies in animals and 7 are studies only in the lab.

What this means for you: A study in people is not proof that it helps you. Do not stop or change your medicines because of it. Ask your doctor before you start taking it.
