MS Research

 
At MS Life 2016 researchers present the cutting-edge techniques being developed to help monitor multiple sclerosis disease activity and progression.

MS topic on Managing Cognitive Changes is presented by 4 different speakers; Dr Gavin Giovannoni from University of London, Dr Declan Chard from University College London, Professor Stephen Sawcer from University of Cambridge and Dr Peter Connick from University of Edinburgh.

 
Ben Thrower, M.D., from the Multiple Sclerosis Foundations presents his MS presentation on Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS), which describes the latest ms overview starting with the diagnosis phase of MS. Furthermore you are taken through the challenges in PPMS treatment as most MS medicine target active inflammation even the inflammation is less of an issue in Primary Progressive MS where instead Neurodegeneration is being a bigger issue. The MS Presentation continues going through the remaining topics of Managing PPMS, MS Drugs like Mitoxantrone (Novantrone), Rituximab plus the latest approved medical drug for PPMS, Ocrelizumab.

 
Research is the driving factor in understanding the cause, management, and, hopefully one day a cure for multiple sclerosis. What we know about MS has come a long way over the years, particularly its profound effects on the critical nerve protectors known as myelin.

Join a neurologist and two psychologists in this MS webinar as they explore research updates on myelin repair and new developments in stem cell research. Through an interactive discussion, they will also provide a real-life look into exercise rehabilitation and its impacts on cognition, as well as the promising treatment options offered through mindfulness and meditation that can help people with MS manage stress, improve physical and mental health, and enhance their overall quality of life.

This interesting Multiple Sclerosis webinar is from 12th of April 2016.

 
Interesting MS Seminar on April 6, 2016 with Thomas Snyder, MD of Neurology that focuses primary on RRMS but also touches the subject of PPMS. The MS presentation includes a thorough overview of the disease, treatments, MS Wellness, interesting clinical trials updates and data for RRMS, PPMS and SPMS. The MS presentation ends with Q&A that includes Stem cell updates and discussion on medicinal marijuana together with other interesting MS topics.

 
Finding treatments that can protect nerves from the damage caused by MS is one of our top research aims. The researchers discuss how we can use our knowledge of nerves to find new treatments and present the latest clinical trial results.
