PRE-TREATMENT CONDITION: Physical examination shows stable vital signs. The patient
mostly uses a wheelchair - crutches "on better days". She suffers from constipation. Urinary
problems are frequent but not intense. Movement coordination is pronounced. Speech problems
occur "from time to time" and are connected to memory failures. Sexual dysfunction is
"complete". Fatigue, energy decline and depression are high. Muscle stiffness and leg pain is
frequent ("almost always"). Double vision is not frequent but it is intense when it happens
(usually causes headaches)
TREATMENT DATA
PATIENT CONDITION: After stem cell treatment for Secondary Progressive Ms, the patient had no side effects and feels
energized. Physiotherapy (Lymphatic drainage, Massage, EMF therapy) eliminated almost all the
stiffness in legs. Leg pain is almost completely gone ("only dull weak pain"). The patient is very
satisfied with lack of memory or speech problems while at the clinic. Her energy levels
significantly improved as well as movement coordination. She walks only with crutches while at
the clinic. She feels no significant change in sexual dysfunction. The patient psychological state
improved but depression is not completely gone. She had one prolonged occurrence of double
vision, but it was less intense than before stem cell treatment.
FOLLOW - UP #1
Treatment center: Moscow Date: 27. July 2012
Patient condition: 3 months after Stem cell treatment, the patient is very satisfied with
improvements in some of the multiple sclerosis symptoms: Speech and Memory problems are eliminated. Muscle
stiffness and leg pain is "bearable and quite manageable". The patient used her wheelchair only
twice during these three month - both instances due to fatigue, rather than inability to walk
with crutches. The least improved symptoms are urinary problems and sexual dysfunction.
Energy levels are "high enough", but depression is sometimes still present (not frequent) and
double vision occurred twice ("less blurry").
FOLLOW - UP #2
Treatment center: Moscow Date: 19. October 2012
Patient condition: 6 months after the treatment, patient subjective review of her own
condition shows improvement in Vision (one, very short occurrence of double vision), Muscle
stiffness and leg pain are completely eliminated. Movement coordination improved. The patient
can walk with one crutch all the time and seems quite stabile on her feet. Urinary problems and
sexual dysfunction still persist. Depression is mild but present.
FINAL ASSESSMENT
Based on the patient's evaluation on the levels of improvement of her condition (improvements
of the symptoms are graded 1-10) we can conclude that her overall condition significantly
improved (average rating of 6.20) immediately after stem cell administration. First follow-up
evaluation showed additional improvements in all of her symptoms, especially memory and
speech problems (average rating of 7.58). Second follow-up evaluation showed additional
improvements and complete elimination of some of the symptoms (pain, muscle stiffness). Final
improvement rating is 8.16 - patient's condition improved 81,6 % by her own assessment.
