Evaluation of Patients With Retinitis Pigmentosa Receiving Electric Stimulation, Ozonated Blood, and Ocular Surgery in Cuba

Stem Cells in the Path of Light, from Corneal to Retinal Reconstruction

“…The Cuban approach of Pelaez [ 56 ], starting in 1992, involved implanting a pedicle flap of retrobulbar fat with blood vessels, under the sclera, to bring additional blood produced by the transposed vessels to the suprachoroidal space. Increased blood flow in patients with retinitis pigmentosa would stabilize the disease.…”

Stellungnahme zur „Kuba-Therapie“ bei tapetoretinalen Degenerationen (Retinitis pigmentosa)

“…Im Jahr 1997 hat Herr Dr. O. Peláez in der Zeitschrift Archives of Ophthalmology Kritikern zugesagt, dass die Publikation der Ergebnisse der "Kuba-Therapie" in einem Peer-reviewed-Journal geplant sei [11]. Eine solche Publikation ist seit nunmehr 25 Jahren nicht erfolgt.…”

Clinical and Rehabilitative Management of Retinitis Pigmentosa:Up-to-Date

“…oral administration of anti-platelets, antioxidants and immuno-modulators. Performing this approach and comparing it with the natural history of RP in 195 patients, Peláez and co-workers have reported rather encouraging results, especially in the early stages of the disease [84-86]. However, these data have been never validated and, at present, the “Cuban therapy” is not performed and not advisable [87-90], as well as other similar surgical strategies: i. the so-called “Russian therapy” consisting in the retro-choroidal grafts of powdered extracts of heterologus biological material (named “alloplant”) [91, 92]; ii.…”
