Experimental stem cell therapy may alleviate some of the symptoms of progressive multiple sclerosis, primarily in people severely disabled by progressive multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease in which the immune system attacks the brain and spinal cord, causing difficulties with walking, memory, bladder control, and other bodily functions. When symptoms gradually worsen over time, it is called progressive MS.
Although there is no approved treatment for advanced MS, there are some small-scale treatments.
