National MS Society Continues to Propel Research Forward to End MS - Launches 2010 With Call for Research Grants to Pursue CCSVI Leads
Date:12/22/2009

nervous system repair, it's still too early to know whether this approach will prove safe and beneficial.
  • To help ensure that stem cell trials are conducted in a scientifically sound way that will move the field forward, the Society convened an international meeting with our counterparts in the U.K., Italy, and France to develop guidelines for stem cell trials, which are expected to be published in 2010.
  • A European collective of imaging experts known as "MAGNIMS" published new information on imaging and clinical findings that might help explain why some people experience a mild course of MS, also known as "benign" MS. They recommended that cognitive functions, not just physical functions, be taken into account when labeling a person's MS as benign.
  • The first large-scale clinical ("phase II") trial of the sex hormone estriol in MS, funded by the National MS Society and especially its Southern California chapter, along with the NIH, continued to recruit women with MS to participate, expanding the number of centers to 16 across the US. The two-year trial could lay the groundwork for a larger, definitive trial that could lead to a new treatment option for women with MS.

    • REVERSING MS DAMAGE/RESTORING FUNCTION

    • In response to reports that a phenomenon called CCSVI (chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency, a dysfunction of brain blood flow and/or blood drainage) may contribute to nervous system damage in MS, the Society invited investigators to apply for grant funding and created an accelerated review process to explore this lead. If confirmed, this may open up new research avenues into the underlying pathology of MS and new approaches to therapy.
    • The Society gathered together 70 members of the four international Promise: 2010 Nervous System Repair Teams (
