Research

The National MS Society is the largest private sponsor of MS research in the world. We support research and training projects aimed at finding the cause of MS, better treatments, and a cure. The MS Society also identifies promising areas of research and promotes activity in those areas.

Research Now offers eight information-packed pages about what research is doing now to improve care and treatment—and to find the cures that will prevent MS, stop it from causing damage, or repair what it has done.

Research Now:
Spring 2008 (PDF)
