Is Stem Cell Treatment Effective For Multiple Sclerosis Patients?

My 58 year old brother was diagnosed with MS in his early 30 s. After 5 years of chemotherapy, he was in remission for ten years. Just recently, he is having symptoms again. Would stem cell replacement possibly be an option for him ? Is he too old? Aside from his gait, he spent 20 years flying and teaching others to fly helicopters, riding his motorcycle and playing golf.
