Construction of the facility began in the summer following years of fundraising and planning by the charity, which has grown significantly since it was founded in 1985. It was set up by Jackie Brightwell - a woman who cared for her husband, Roy, after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He underwent a trial of oxygen therapy and following its success, Jackie set about creating a facility in Southfield Road, Nailsea, to make the same treatment available to others. The range of therapies available eventually grew to include physiotherapy, aromatherapy, … Continue reading →

Public release date: 21-Feb-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Dan Doron dorond@ccf.org 216-636-5874 Cleveland Clinic Tuesday, February 21, 2012, Cleveland: Richard Ransohoff, M.D., a Cleveland Clinic physician and a researcher in the Neurosciences Department of Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute, has been awarded the 2012 John Dystel Prize for Multiple Sclerosis Research. The award ? presented by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society since 1995 ? is given annually to one recipient, recognizing "outstanding contributions to research in the understanding, treatment, or prevention of multiple sclerosis" and "significant and exciting work that has influenced how we think about multiple sclerosis." Dr. Ransohoff's most recent contributions to the field of multiple sclerosis (MS) include the discovery that MS can progress from the outermost layers of the brain to its interior. Aiming to lower the risk/benefit ratio of multiple sclerosis therapy, he has also recently developed an experimental model that allowed his group to identify a novel mechanism for harmful infiltration of white blood cells into the central nervous system. With increased understanding of this process and how it is regulated, new therapeutic targets are possible. "It is an honor to receive this award, … Continue reading →

Public release date: 22-Feb-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Linda Brooks lbrooks@rsna.org 630-590-7762 Radiological Society of North America OAK BROOK, Ill. ? In a new study published in the March issue of Radiology, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) shows that cognitive rehabilitation changes brain function and improves cognitive performance in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). "These results prompt the use of specific computer-based rehabilitation programs to treat deficits in selected neuropsychological domains in patients with relapsing-remitting MS," said the study's lead author, Massimo Filippi, M.D., professor of neurology at the San Raffaele Vita-Salute University and director of the "BrainMap" interdepartmental research program and the Neuroimaging Research Unit, Department of Neuroscience, Scientific Institute San Raffaele, Milan, Italy. "They also suggest that fMRI might provide useful metrics to monitor the effects of rehab in MS." MS is a nervous system disease affecting the brain and spinal cord. MS damages a material called the myelin sheath that surrounds and protects nerve cells. This damage disrupts messages between the brain and other parts of the body, leading to symptoms such as muscle weakness, coordination and balance difficulties, numbness, problems with vision, memory loss and other cognitive issues. MS affects women more … Continue reading →

Cannabis-based treatment could be cleared for MS patients By Gordon Deegan Tuesday, February 21, 2012 Cannabis-based medicinal products, such as Sativex, could soon be available to people with multiple sclerosis and other medical conditions on prescription. Róisín Shortall, minister for state at the Department of Health, said the department was "examining the issues associated with applying controls, similar to those that apply to other controlled drugs that can be misused, such as morphine and methadone, to cannabis-based medicinal products to permit them to be prescribed and dispensed in Ireland". In a written response to a Dáil question tabled by Luke "Ming" Flanagan (Ind), Ms Shorthall said: "As the law currently stands, it is not possible for cannabis-based medicinal products such as Sativex to be prescribed by a medical practitioner in Ireland. "I am aware that claims have been made in respect of the possible health benefits of cannabis-based medicinal products for patients suffering from certain conditions, such as MS. I am also aware that Sativex is authorised in the UK for the relief of spasm in patients with multiple sclerosis." Mr Flanagan described the policy of prohibiting the supply of cannabis-based medicinal products as "heartless and cruel". Sativex has been … Continue reading →

A CLINICAL trial will test whether Vitamin D can help fight multiple sclerosis (MS). If successful, researchers say the trial could open the door to a treatment which is 100 times cheaper than other drugs available. The $2 million trial, announced today by MS Research Australia, will begin recruiting in Victoria, NSW, Tasmania and New Zealand from April. Researchers hope to find 150 people with early or suspected symptoms of MS and put them on varying doses of Vitamin D. "If we can ... watch to see if that actually slows the progress or stops the progress, and they don't actually get MS, then we know Vitamin D is having an effect," MS Research Australia CEO Jeremy Wright said. The vitamin, which can be sourced from sunlight and some foods, is gaining credence as an effective treatment in preventing MS. But all the evidence so far has been circumstantial, Mr Wright said. "If we can prove the efficacy we are going to come up with a treatment which, would you believe, is about 100 times cheaper than the current treatments," Mr Wright said. "But it won't be a solo treatment. It will join the other treatments and add impacts, is … Continue reading →
