:🧬 What Is HSCT for MS?

Stem Cell Therapy: A Reset for the Immune System

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) is an emerging treatment that aims to “reset” the immune system in people with Multiple Sclerosis .

HSCT involves collecting your own stem cells, wiping out the faulty immune system with chemotherapy, and then reinfusing the stem cells to help build a new, healthier immune response. The goal? To stop MS progression and prevent further relapses or damage.

✅ What the Research Shows

• Up to 83% of patients had no new disease activity two years after HSCT

• 71% showed no worsening of disability even 10 years later

• Some patients experienced major improvements in quality of life and function

⚠️ What to Consider

• HSCT is not currently FDA-approved for MS (outside of clinical trials)

• It’s a serious medical procedure with risks, including infections and immune suppression

• It can be expensive and is usually done at accredited centers in places like Mexico, Russia, the UK, and the US (in trials)

🎯 Bottom Line

HSCT offers hope for long-term remission, but it’s not for everyone. It's important to weigh the risks and benefits, speak with your medical team, and be fully informed before making a decision.
