MS Research, Funding Speed Development of New Therapies
Date:2/27/2009

National MS Awareness Week highlights movement to advance MS treatment; more than 130 clinical trials are under way.

(Vocus) February 27, 2009 -- Research to benefit patients with multiple sclerosis is gaining traction through a number of medical, scientific and advocacy efforts, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, which is celebrating National MS Awareness Week on March 2-8, 2009. Organizations, including Allsup, a national Social Security Disability Insurance representation company, are helping to raise awareness about the disease, its treatment and efforts to support the MS movement.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous system, and someone is newly diagnosed every hour. A number of activities in 2008 signal improvements and progress for the estimated 400,000 Americans who have the disease.

The National MS Society invested nearly $50 million last year to support more than 440 new and ongoing MS research projects. Currently, more than a dozen therapies that promise improved treatment for the disease are moving forward. Additionally, 130 clinical trials are under way around the world.

This year, the National MS Society is celebrating these accomplishments and the spirit of progress with the theme: Move it to end MS. People across the nation are encouraged to participate in Walk MS and Bike MS events, help advocate and volunteer, and make donations to continue growing the MS movement.
