How Stem Cell Therapy Benefits MS Warriors

Multiple sclerosis is a central nervous system disorder caused by an immune response. The body targets the protective sheath of myelin around the nerve fibers. This autoimmune reaction leaves nerves vulnerable and disrupts communication between the body and brain. The traditional treatment for MS aims to manage symptoms and slow the progression of the condition. However, recent advances in medical science have opened the door for a revolutionary new approach: stem cell therapy.

Causes of Multiple Sclerosis

It is still not known what causes MS, but genetic and environmental factors are likely to be involved. Here is a list with some of the most likely causes.

Immune system dysfunction

Family History

Viral infections

Smoking

Geographical location: MS is more prevalent in areas farther away from the equator. This could indicate a link between environmental factors like vitamin D levels or sunlight exposure.

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms

MS symptoms can vary greatly between individuals and change over time. The symptoms of MS can affect different parts of the human body, and include:

Fatigue can affect your daily activities and life quality.

Optic Neuritis (Inflammation of the optic nerve) - This can cause double or blurred vision, pain in the eyes, and color distortion.

Paresthesia is the sensation of tingling or numbness in the arms or legs, usually.

Muscle Weakness is a classic MS symptom.

Instability in coordination can be caused by weakness of the muscles and limbs. It can affect motor skills such as walking.

Spasticity or Muscle Stiffness can cause movement to be difficult.

Incontinence is another classic MS symptom. It's characterized by problems with bladder and bowel control, which can cause urgency, incontinence, or frequency.

MS patients can suffer from cognitive problems such as memory loss, concentration difficulties, and mood swings.

Dysarthria and Dysphagia - Weakness or lack of coordination in the muscles used for speech may result in slurred or difficult-to-understand speech, and swallowing difficulties.

The symptoms of MS can be worsened by exposure to certain symptoms such as heat or hot baths. This is only a temporary phase.

Depression and Anxiety - The disease's impact on everyday life is associated with emotional changes such as depression and anxiety.

There are four types of MS

Relapsing - Remitting MS: This is the most common form, marked by unpredictable symptoms relapses and partial or total recovery.

Secondary-Progressive MS (SPMS): Develops from RRMS, featuring steady disease progression with or without relapses.

Primary Progressive MS (PPMS).: The symptoms gradually worsen after the onset of the disease without relapses.

Progressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS): A rare form where the disease progresses with worsening symptoms and acute lapses but no remissions.

MS can affect anyone, but those between the ages of 20 and 50 tend to be more affected. Although there is currently no cure for MS but recent advances in treatment, especially stem cell therapy have given hope that recovery may be possible.

Stem Cell Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis is available in India

Plexus is India's first ISO certified stem cell research centre. We have treated patients from all over the world who were looking for innovative, advanced and state-ofthe-art treatments. Our centers in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Mumbai are renowned for cutting-edge medical treatments and research, and a team compassionate doctors and clinicians led by Dr Na'eem Saiq, a world-renowned stem cell specialist and neurologist.

Stem cell treatment represents a paradigm change in the management of multiple sclerosis. The idea is that stem cells can be used to repair damaged tissue and modulate immune system to address the root cause of autoimmune reaction.

Mesenchymal stem cells and Multiple Sclerosis

Interferon, copaxone and immunosuppressants are traditional treatments that reduce the severity of disease by blocking immune responses. They do not reverse the damage to nervous system tissues.

The treatment of MS with mesenchymal cells has been very successful. Stem cell therapy is a good alternative to the traditional treatment of MS. MSCs have immunomodulatory, repair-promoting, and tissue-protective properties.

MSCs can differentiate into different cell types including cartilage, fat, and bone. This process helps to rebuild the immune system and eliminate the autoreactive cells that attack the body's tissues.

Plexus offers stem cell therapy for multiple sclerosis

Our customized regenerative medicine for multiple sclerosis program at Plexus provides relief from symptoms and slows the disease progression. It also improves your quality of life.

MSCs can transform into different cell types. This characteristic is particularly useful in treating multiple sclerosis as stem cells injected can become cells of the immune system. Here are some of the MSC features that help manage MS:

MSCs release anti-inflammatory molecules which can reduce inflammation in affected tissues. This can reduce the damaging effects of autoimmune reactions.

MSCs modulate the immune response by suppressing hyperactive immune cells, and promoting the function of regulatory T-cells. They can create a balanced and controlled response.

MSCs are able to repair or regenerate tissues and can contribute to the repair and regeneration of myelin fibers and nerve fibres. This could slow down, and in some cases reverse, some of the neurodegenerative damage caused by the disease.

Worldwide, clinical trials have demonstrated positive results with significant improvement in the disability levels of MS patients. Stem cell therapy has dramatic results when combined with occupational and physiotherapy. It improves the quality of life of those with MS. Integrating stem cell therapies into MS treatment methods heralds new hope and recovery.
