Stem Cell Treatment for ONH in Pakistan: weighing hope and evidence for your child
Parents search for answers late at night, and promising words can feel like relief. This page aims to give you a calm, honest picture before you decide anything.
Being honest about the goal
In ONH the problem is that fewer nerve fibres formed in the first place. Stem cell approaches have not shown that they can create a missing nerve, so any discussion focuses on whether supportive or protective effects might be explored.
A first review looks at whether the diagnosis is certain, what your child can see, and whether other care is already in place.
