Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to investigate neuroregenerative efficacy (proof of concept) of intrathecal treatment with autologous MSCs as measured by neurophysiological parameters in patients with progressive MS.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are to assess neuroregenerative efficacy as measured by other neurophysiological, opthalmological and MRI modalities and to assess safety.;Primary end point(s): Difference in CEP (VEP+SEP+MEP) at 6 months as compared to baseline between MSCs treatment vs. placebo (arm A vs. arm B)
