Autologous Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation in the Treatment of Patients With Hemifacial Spasm
100 participantsStarted 2016-10
Plain-language summary
Main purpose:In the face of listening to nerve injury at early stage, utilizing autologous adipose stem cell transplantation in the treatment of makes the acceptance micro vascular decompression hemifacial spasm patients to nerve function to obtain a better recovery.
Secondary purpose :To clarify the efficacy of stem cells in the treatment of cranial nerve dysfunction, and to provide evidence for the treatment of other cranial nerve dysfunction.
Cases in group:Appearing on the surface of microvascular decompression for hemifacial spasm to decrease neural electrophysiological index of patients research design:Single center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled Observation index:Facial nerve clinical score, facial nerve muscle compound action potential, electrical measurement, cerebrospinal fluid index Evaluation of therapeutic effect:Facial nerve function evaluation (House-Brackmann classification, facial nerve function classification scale SFGS), facial nerve electrophysiology evaluation (facial nerve muscle compound action potential), electric measurement Safety evaluation:Clear evaluation of hemifacial spasm and micro vascular decompression were listening to nerve in intracranial segment wrapped around the autologous fat stem cell therapy overall safety and evaluation methods including adverse events, laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
