BLUE BELL, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE …

While we all know “MS” stands for “multiple sclerosis,” with so much exciting research reported in this edition of “What’s New in MS Research,” we can almost imagine that “MS” could also refer to the quest for “multiple solutions” in MS. Although a great deal of the research looks to further understand the biology, easing the symptoms, and slowing or stopping the physical damage of MS, the studies and other information presented here are very encouraging – and they are only a small sample of the vast array of research under way around the world.

This edition of MSAA’s “What’s New in MS Research” article features highlights from the annual meetings of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and the Consortium of MS Centers (CMSC). Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, both of these meetings were held virtually. While not all of the reports are positive, the good far outweighs the rest, and encompasses not only promising research advances in MS, but also a potential role for a long-established DMT in treating COVID-19.
