Fibromyalgie and Stem Cells?

A couple of minutes ago, a patient asked about stem cells to treat Fibromyalgia. Someone in the South of Germany proposed this to her. There's neither study nor rationale for such a treatment.

The FDA permitted 12 patients suffering from ALS to be treated under study conditions.
