The latest study shows the effect of a hematopoietic stem cell transplantationalong withintense immunosuppression to helpprevent the disability associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) as it is found to not only worsen with time but also relapses 10 Years after the treatment. But, there are many who show an improvement in their disability over 10 years after the treatment. The transplantation is found to lower the chances of secondary progressive form of MS. Currently, there are many people with MS who are diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS and in such patients the symptoms flare up before slowly transitioning into secondary progressive MS. Thus, the latest study helps understand the role of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplants as there is use of healthy blood stem cells from the patient’s itself to replace the diseased cells.
In the conventional treatments, the experiencing of worse of symptoms is reduced on a temporary basis but not in the long term. According to lead researcher Matilde Inglese from the University of Genoa, till date the medication prescribed for the disease is not found to inhibit it from getting worse. But, transplantation can help prevent the disease from getting worse in the long-term. The researchers found in the most common form of MS the sufferers experienced no worsening of their disability in next 10 Years.
The current study thus emphasizes that intense immunosuppression coupled with hematopoietic stem cell transplants is the most suitable treatment that can help calm down the faring up of symptoms in people with MS as there are many who do not respond to conventional therapy. The new treatment is found to helpinhibit disability linked with MS from getting severe in 71% of the sufferers with relapsing-remitting MS for about 10 Years after the treatment. The study showed an improvement in the conditions of the people who have undergone transplantation.
