Multiple sclerosis risk has been found to be higher in rosacea-affected women. The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Copenhagen who found a higher risk of multiple sclerosis in women with rosacea, compared to women without the skin condition. The study looked at patients diagnosed with rosacea between January 1997 and December ...click here to read more

Multiple sclerosis treatment for boosting brain function may benefit patients one day. The findings of the study suggest that boosting neuron activity in the brain may be beneficial for those suffering the demyelinating disease. This activated brain function could stimulate the production of a substance that protects nerve fibers. The findings could potentially pave the ...click here to read more

Multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment is more effective with older rheumatoid arthritis and lymphoma drug, according to a new study. The drug is known as Mabthera, and it has been found to be more effective in treating multiple sclerosis than many intended MS drugs. Many current multiple sclerosis drugs have adverse side effects that limit their application. ...click here to read more

Multiple sclerosis-associated myelitis has distinct characteristics, making early detection with MRI and ensuing early treatment possible. Researchers found that patients with myelitis who later develop multiple sclerosis may be distinguished from other cases through distinct characteristics – such as the location and size of spinal cord lesions. These findings may help better scan for multiple ...click here to read more

Treating multiple sclerosis (MS) with regimes, such as the Paleo diet, have shown mixed results. However, most experts agree that when it comes to diet for multiple sclerosis there are certain food triggers, and MS diet and exercise do impact how a sufferer feels. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that attacks the central nervous ...click here to read more

Multiple sclerosis early detection study helps towards the objective of predicting MS symptoms years in advance. Researchers at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) launched a study of individuals at risk of multiple sclerosis as a means to better understand the sequence of events leading ...click here to read more

Multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barre syndrome are similar in that they both affect the nervous system, but the diseases attack nerves in different ways and, therefore, require different approaches to treatment. Multiple sclerosis (MS) and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) are what is called demyelinating conditions that impact the nervous system. Both MS and Guillain-Barre patients experience loss ...click here to read more

It is often said that our eyes are the gateway to our soul. Although this may be true, your eyes can reveal much more than that. Eyes not only provide us with the ability to see, but they can also tell us what’s going on inside our bodies. Whether these are the matters of the ...click here to read more

In multiple sclerosis (MS), cognitive remediation may help relieve cognitive impairment symptoms. The findings come from NYU Langone Medical Center, which may help offer relief from cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis. In a randomized, controlled trial, multiple sclerosis patients used a computer-based cognitive remediation training program at home for 12 weeks. These patients had significantly ...click here to read more

Multiple sclerosis vs. ALS is a topic of much discussion because both diseases are neurodegenerative and can impact the central nervous system. People with ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and those who suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS) can have memory and cognitive problems, but to different degrees. If a person suffers from MS, they tend ...click here to read more

Obstructive sleep apnea may be associated with a vitamin D deficiency. A vitamin D deficiency has been linked to numerous health problems including multiple sclerosis, diabetes, kidney disease, asthma, and cardiovascular disease. The recent findings now suggest that a vitamin D deficiency may also be associated with obstructive sleep apnea, too. The findings come from ...click here to read more

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system attacks myelin, the protective covering around nerves and the spinal cord. Such induced myelin deterioration causes further damage to the nerves and spinal cord, resulting in the multiple sclerosis symptoms. Symptoms for multiple sclerosis patients can vary. Moreover, each patient may ...click here to read more

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most disabling conditions of young adults around the world. Each week in the United States at least 200 new cases are diagnosed, and some neurological experts believe environmental factors have a stronger link to our risk of developing MS than they were originally thought. In one study conduced ...click here to read more

Multiple sclerosis (MS) risk may increase with obesity in children and teens. The researchers suspect that the hormone leptin, responsible for inhibiting hunger, may be mediating this association between obesity and the development of MS. The study was led by Dr. Jorge Correale who explained, “We need to do more work to understand the mechanisms ...click here to read more
