Take part in MS research

Get involved and you can help to shape the future direction of MS research.

It takes time for research to change people’s lives, but you can get involved and make a difference. You can be part of research in lots of ways.

You might like to be in a study, which could be a clinical trial. Or, share your expertise and experience as part of our Research Network to help shape our research programme.

You might want to become one of the 17,000 people contributing to the MS Register who are helping to build a better picture of life with MS in the UK. You may want to pledge to donate your brain to the MS Society Tissue Bank.

Be in a study

Our vision is for a world free from the effects of MS. And MS research will get us there. But research wouldn’t happen without the people who take part.

Research Network

Our Research Network is a group of people affected by MS who use their lived experience of MS to influence and shape research.

UK MS Register

The UK MS Register is the world’s first register, for any condition, to combine information from people about their MS, with clinical and NHS data.

MS Society Tissue Bank

The MS Society Tissue Bank allows people to donate their brain and spinal cord tissue for MS research after their death. It's a vital resource, with donated tissue helping scientists around the world advance our understanding of MS.

The next research breakthrough is in reach
