Multiple sclerosis (MS) support groups allow those with the condition to share their experiences and feelings with each other. Most organizations that provide information about MS, including treatment strategies, also have support groups. In addition to support groups, many MS organizations provide support services. Th
It’s funny how multiple sclerosis (MS) has a way of silencing me. Since my diagnosis in 2016, I’ve felt as if something else has been speaking, moving, and living through me. Although I’ve been present in my own body, it often feels like I’m simply waiting on the sidelines. Waiting for what, you may ask? […] The post L
An experimental oral drug called remibrutinib outperformed the approved therapy Aubagio (teriflunomide) in reducing disease flare rates in two large, late-stage clinical trials involving people with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). That’s according to top-line data — the studies’ first results — announced by
A trio of European scientists has linked subtle changes in the brain’s white matter — tissue rich in nerve cell projections — to early relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), a form of the neurodegenerative disease marked by flare-ups interspersed with periods of remission. Using a specialized noninvasive imagin
Anti-inflammatory diets may help to ease fatigue and improve overall physical health in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a new analysis of data from 10 clinical trials. Findings also indicated that anti-inflammatory diets do not substantially alter body composition, disability status, or mental health
Problems with episodic memory, or the ability to remember personal experiences and events, among people with multiple sclerosis (MS) may be related to difficulties in interpreting emotions and understanding others — a known nonmotor symptom of the neurological disease. That’s the main takeaway from a small study in Fra
While U.S. researchers believed a home-based telerehabilitation program — thought to be more convenient and accessible for patients — would prove more effective than a clinic-based one in improving walking endurance in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), data from a large clinical trial in “the Deep South” found no ma
Vitamin D supplementation did not consistently reduce relapse rates in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS), although it may reduce the number of MS lesions seen on MRI scans, according to a systematic review of published studies. Several trials found reductions in new or active lesions even when vitamin D did not signi
Daily step patterns — captured via wearable devices such as smartwatches — may offer a more complete picture of disability in people with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) than measurements taken during occasional clinic visits, a study found. Using more than two years of step count data from more than 500 p
Patterns in how different regions of the brain are structurally organized may help distinguish people with multiple sclerosis (MS) from those without the disease and provide information about MS-related clinical features, a study in China found. Using MRI scans, researchers created individualized maps of large brain ne
Living with a chronic illness such as multiple sclerosis (MS) — which is caused by the immune system erroneously attacking and damaging neurons in the brain and other parts of the nervous system — can lead to mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. The post Multiple sclerosis and mental health appeared f
The Mediterranean diet is a way of eating that is rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and grains, and low in red meat and saturated fats. People with multiple sclerosis (MS) may benefit from this diet due its association with reduced damage to the brain’s small vessels. Following a specific diet may help some people with
