Insurance covers standard MS treatments but not stem-cell therapy, which is self-pay. A growing number of registered trials enrol MS patients without charge, particularly in North America and Europe — a route to treatment without payment if the research aligns with your goals.
Indicative European costs are roughly €4,500–€7,500 per course, reflecting manufacturing, sterility testing, and often multiple doses. MS patients usually need MRI before and after, and intrathecal (spinal) delivery may require hospitalisation, raising the total. Established MS disease-modifying therapies cost roughly €800–€3,000 monthly via insurance and are proven — the stem-cell figure is indicative and unproven.
