TREATMENTS & DRUGS

Medications are used in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) to modify the disease course, treat relapses - also called attacks or exacerbations - and manage symptoms. Along with the other essential components of comprehensive MS care, these medications can help people manage their MS and enhance their comfort and quality of life.

lifestyle

There is no getting around it. MS is a life changer for the patient and the patient’s family, friends, co-workers--inner circle. There is no cure. However, once diagnosed, the available therapies and drugs can treat many of the otherwise debilitating symptoms, can slow the progression of the disease and in many cases provide for a reasonably normal quality of life.

All procedures required by a study are paid for by that study’s sponsor.

Sponsors are the pharmaceutical companies or the government entities that fund the studies.

The duration of our studies can run in length anywhere from three months to five years, depending on the study design and objectives. The majority of the clinical trials at our center last two to three years.
