Future treatments for transverse myelitis
Currently, transverse myelitis is not the subject of any major clinical trials and there is not a lot of evidence to prove the effectiveness of different potential treatments.
However, researchers are investigating a variety of potential treatments some of which might prove to be effective for people with transverse myelitis. For example, some researchers are hopeful that stem cell treatments will be helpful for people with transverse myelitis. Currently, research into stem cell treatments is only in its initial stages.
