Progressive MS: Research and Management
Have you often felt that little or no research is happening
to treat progressive MS? Or wondered why treatments work for
the relapsing remitting and not the progressive form of the disease?
This new series offered by the MS Society of Canada, will present
information about why the current therapies are not effective
for progressive MS and how cutting edge research is looking for
ways to manage this problem. You will also hear insights and
tips to manage symptoms of progressive MS. This event will include
a question period with these MS experts who will try to answer
your questions about this challenging aspect of Multiple Sclerosis.
This is an education series offered free of charge and supported
by the fundraising efforts of the Multiple Sclerosis Society
of Canada and its donors.
