Experimental Therapies for Multiple Sclerosis
Experimental therapies being explored to treat or possibly
cure multiple sclerosis include stem cell transplantation. Preliminary results
from one study, which followed patients for 5 years suggested a decreased
relapse rate and improvement in disability. While promising, these results need
to be evaluated carefully before this treatment is approved.
In 2009, a vascular surgeon proposed that multiple sclerosis
was caused by venous abnormalities that responsible for the true cause of
multiple sclerosis was venous insufficiency. This proposed theory was termed
chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI). A number of studies have
tried to confirm this theory since it would markedly change the approach to
treating multiple sclerosis. However, most of the recent data has not shown a
causal relationship between any venous insufficiency and multiple sclerosis.
Ongoing studies are being conducted, but some experts suggest the more recent
findings in the ongoing findings will disprove this hypothesis.
