Stem Cell Therapy Reverses Multiple Sclerosis

In such a long time, it is only in this century that most of the impairments associated with the initial stages of multiple sclerosis can be reversed. This works by resetting their immune systems by making use of their very own stem cells.

Still, this kind of treatment is being further observed which necessitate some randomized clinical testing in order to confirm the test's findings. However, this stem cell therapy is a good thing so that those who are still in the first stages of this disease can still have hope despite not having to undergo its drug regimen.

What is multiple sclerosis?

Multiple sclerosis, or MS, is actually an autoimmune disorder that predominantly affects the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is basically made up of adipose tissue and it is wrapped around the nerve cells serving as a protective covering. Also, the myelin helps in speeding up the speed or the rate of the transmission between the brain, as it sends its signals, and the rest of the body. In MS, it is this myelin sheath that gets damaged.

Brain Training for Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Brain training has been used for many purposes from sharpening up our minds and memory to teaching children and adults better ways of learning. However, one very important purpose of brain training recently has been as a helping aid for Multiple Sclerosis patients.

One of the most common symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is cognitive dysfunction, leading to difficulty with learning, paying attention, problem solving, remembering and correct use of language when expressing ideas. The most common symptoms and characteristics of MS include memory dysfunction, verbal fluency, cognitive fatigue and impaired planning ability.
