Managing MS pain - what does the research say?

Many people living with MS will experience pain as one of their symptoms. It can occur at any time, come from more than one source, or result from other symptoms, like spasticity or fatigue.

Behind the headlines: MSCT and MS

MSCT (or mesenchymal stem cell therapy) is an exciting new area of research being explored as an MS treatment. And it was featured in a Channel 4 documentary which followed lawyer Mark Lewis as he took part in an MSCT trial in Jerusalem.

The research triple whammy that will stop MS

We now know enough about what goes wrong in MS to know what needs to be done to fix it. Scientists are working on three ways to tackle MS: stopping the immune damage, promoting myelin repair and protecting nerves from damage. We're not there yet, but we believe that if we achieve these goals then we can stop MS.
