Breakthrough Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis Found to Reverse Symptoms
10th June 2016
A radical treatment that wipes out and then regenerates the immune system can halt progression of aggressive multiple sclerosis and even reverse its symptoms, research has shown.
Scientists in Canada described results from a trial involving 24 patients with a highly active, relapsing form of the autoimmune disease as “very exciting”.
But at the same time they warned that the procedure was risky, and only likely to benefit a certain proportion of patients still in early stages of the illness.
