Stem cell transplant and bladder function in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a stem cell transplant (AHSCT) can improve bladder problems and quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It compares people getting this treatment with those on standard MS therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have multiple sclerosis (MS) and a neurologist has recommended a stem cell transplant (AHSCT) or you are on a similar MS treatment.
- You have not had bladder cancer, pelvic radiation, or certain bladder surgeries.
- You have not had Botox injections in your bladder in the last year.
- Your bladder symptoms and medications have been stable for the past 3 months.
- You do not have a permanent catheter or frequent urinary tract infections (3 or more in the last year).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early-phase study tests a stem cell transplant procedure for people with multiple sclerosis whose usual MS medicines have not worked or can’t be tolerated. The goal is to see if this approach can help control MS activity and progression, while checking for safety.
This trial tests if using your own stem cells can stop multiple sclerosis that keeps getting worse despite treatment. You would first receive a medication to reset your immune system, then get your stem cells back to help rebuild it.
This trial tests if a special therapy (high tone power therapy) can help people with multiple sclerosis who have bladder control problems. It compares the treatment to standard care to see if it improves symptoms.
This trial tests whether spinal stabilization exercises can improve bladder control and pelvic floor function in women with multiple sclerosis. If you have mild to moderate MS and bladder issues like urgency or leaking, this study may help you.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation can improve bladder control in women with multiple sclerosis. If you have bladder symptoms like urgency or frequent urination, this trial may help find new ways to manage them.
This study tests a noninvasive nerve stimulation applied to the lower leg to improve bladder emptying problems in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help reduce bladder dysfunction while you keep using clean intermittent self-catheterization.
