Stem cell therapy for MS patients

Stem cell therapy for MS patients

 

 

Medical professionals are now using stem cells to treat multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is an autoimmune disease which causes the body’s immune system to attack different parts of the patient’s central nervous system such as the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve.

Currently there is no cure for MS but stem cell therapy is being used to help improve patient  symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. Stem cell therapy is an experimental treatment that people can access through clinical trials.
