Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disease affecting dogs, leading to pain, reduced mobility, and impaired quality of life. The efficacy of stem cell therapy in treating osteoarthritis in canine patients is a topic of growing interest within the field of veterinary medicine. This thesis aims to explore the potential benefits of stem cell therapy as a treatment option for osteoarthritis in dogs. The study will investigate the mechanisms of action of stem cells in promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation in arthritic joints. A comprehensive literature review will be conducted to evaluate existing research on stem cell therapy in veterinary medicine and its application in managing osteoarthritis in dogs. The research methodology will involve the collection of data from clinical trials, case studies, and experimental studies that have investigated the use of stem cell therapy in canine patients with osteoarthritis. Various aspects of the research methodology, including sample selection, treatment protocols, outcome measures, and data analysis techniques, will be discussed in detail. The study will also address ethical considerations related to the use of stem cell therapy in veterinary medicine and ensure that all procedures adhere to established guidelines and regulations. The findings of this thesis will be presented in Chapter IV, where the results of the literature review and data analysis will be critically evaluated and discussed. The potential advantages and limitations of stem cell therapy in treating osteoarthritis in dogs will be explored, along with recommendations for future research in this area. The conclusion in Chapter V will summarize the key findings of the study and provide insights into the implications of stem cell therapy for the management of osteoarthritis in canine patients. Overall, this thesis aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on stem cell therapy as a potential treatment option for osteoarthritis in dogs. By evaluating the efficacy and safety of this innovative approach, the study seeks to provide valuable information that can guide veterinary practitioners in making informed decisions regarding the use of stem cell therapy in managing osteoarthritis in canine patients.

Thesis Overview

The project titled "Exploring the Efficacy of Stem Cell Therapy in Treating Osteoarthritis in Canine Patients" aims to investigate the potential benefits and effectiveness of stem cell therapy in managing osteoarthritis in dogs. Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative joint disease in canines that can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, significantly impacting their quality of life. Traditional treatments such as pain medications and joint supplements may provide symptomatic relief but do not address the underlying cause of the disease. Stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising regenerative medicine approach that harnesses the regenerative properties of stem cells to repair damaged tissues and reduce inflammation in osteoarthritic joints. By introducing stem cells into the affected joints, it is hypothesized that the therapy can promote tissue regeneration, reduce pain, and improve joint function in canine patients with osteoarthritis. This research overview will delve into the current understanding of osteoarthritis in dogs, the mechanisms of action of stem cell therapy, previous studies on the efficacy of stem cell therapy in treating osteoarthritis in animals, and the potential implications of this novel treatment approach in veterinary medicine. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and the implementation of a structured research methodology, this project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of stem cell therapy in managing osteoarthritis in canine patients. The research will involve clinical trials, imaging studies, and functional assessments to measure the outcomes of the therapy in terms of pain relief, joint function improvement, and overall quality of life in the canine subjects. By shedding light on the potential benefits and limitations of stem cell therapy in treating osteoarthritis in dogs, this research endeavor seeks to contribute valuable insights to the field of veterinary medicine and provide evidence-based recommendations for the clinical application of this innovative treatment modality. Ultimately, the findings of this study may pave the way for the development of more effective and targeted therapies for managing osteoarthritis and improving the well-being of canine patients suffering from this debilitating condition.
