FINAL ASSESSMENT
Based on the patient's evaluation on the levels of improvement of her multiple sclerosis condition (improvements
of the Progresive relapsing Ms symptoms are graded 1-10) we can conclude that her overall condition significantly
improved (average rating of 4.70) immediately after stem cell administration. First follow-up
evaluation showed additional improvements in most of her multiple sclerosis symptoms (average rating of 6.16).
Second follow-up evaluation showed some stagnation but significant improvement in some of
the symptoms. Final improvement rating is 7.25 - patient's symptoms improved 72,5 % by her
own assessment.
