Researchers have found evidence that an environmental pollutant may play an important role in causing multiple sclerosis and that a hypertension drug might be used to treat the disease…
A small study suggests women with multiple sclerosis have lower vitamin D levels during pregnancy and breastfeeding, according to a report posted online today that will appear in the March 2011 print issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. However, these vitamin D levels were not associated with a greater risk of multiple sclerosis relapse after childbirth…
A new study from Switzerland suggests that learning mindfulness meditation eased fatigue, depression and quality of life for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients compared with patients who received standard medical care…
An Australian study published today (Friday 30 April) has shed further light on the correlation between vitamin D and MS. The study, published in the British Medical Journal, shows that people born after the vitamin D-scarce winter months are roughly 30% more likely to go on to develop MS later in life compared with those born after the summer months…
Highly fit multiple sclerosis patients perform significantly better on tests of cognitive function than similar less-fit patients, a new study shows. In addition, MRI scans of the patients showed that the fitter MS patients showed less damage in parts of the brain that show deterioration as a result of MS, as well as a greater volume of vital gray matter…
Recent media reports have covered research announced ahead of the American Academy of Neurology’s (AAN) Annual Meeting in April which suggested that milk during pregnancy may lower a baby’s risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) later in life. The theory from the researchers in Boston, announced in an AAN press release, was based on a survey of American mothers…
Australian researchers have presented findings at a national scientific conference for medical research in Hobart, Australia that suggests vitamin D may play a role in preventing relapses in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The research, which is yet to be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, may form the basis of a larger clinical trial that would take several years to complete.
