This content was created by Dr. Charles Mok. This content was uploaded by Dr. Charles Mok. This is a YouTube video titled "Joint Treatment Using Stem Cells" (created 2025-06-16T16:45:04Z). It contains a single speaker explaining stem cell therapies for joint pain—commercial umbilical/cord-derived stem cell injections (typically a single treatment) versus autologous fat-derived stem cells (harvested, processed in a lab, bankable, and returned for injection). The speaker notes typical dosing (~5 million cells per joint), treatment frequency differences compared with platelet therapy (one vs. multiple treatments), and expected clinical improvement (around 50% or more reduction in pain for many patients).

Questions this video answers

About 5 or 10 million stem cells (speaker: "they send them back to us at like 5 or 10 million stem cells").

About 5 million stem cells per joint (speaker: "for 5 million stells for a joint maybe would be used to inject in the joint").

Typically one treatment for umbilical/cord-derived stem cells versus about three treatments with platelet therapy (speaker: "you only need one treatment typically versus three with the platelets").

Around 50% or more reduction in pain for many patients (speaker: "Maybe not gone but 50% or more improvement.")

Chapters

A common stem cell product that's being used in America would be umbilical stem cells of some sort. This is something that you would buy from a lab and inject into your knee in the same fashion. Again we see good response with that. Most people respond but it lasts a little longer. You only need one treatment typically versus three with the platelets to get moderate improvement of pain or clinically meaningful improvement of pain. Maybe not gone but 50% or more improvement. And then there's fat derived stem cells which in the case of fat derived stem cells there's the ability for you to have your fat extracted, send it to a laboratory and they extract the stem cells out. Could bank your stem cells for the rest of your life. It's very inexpensive to keep them there and then they send them back to us at like 5 or 10 million stem cells at a time which is typically for 5 million stells for a joint maybe would be used to inject in the joint.
