Research on MS - website
Last year we commissioned a survey of our Information Service. The importance of being informed about the latest developments in research was something that many respondents highlighted and therefore we have extended the coverage of research on our website. In addition to information on projects that the MS Trust is funding, we are now including:
- New drugs in development and a description of the process involved in taking a new medicine from the laboratory into the medicine cabinet
- Background to clinical trials, looking at what is involved in taking part, some of the questions you might want to ask and explaining some of the terminology
- Links to websites listing current and completed clinical trials
- Research news from the world's scientific and medical literature
For more information on research read the newly expanded Research pages
Are you a parent with MS?
The MS Trust is planning a new combined edition of our popular books My Mum's Got MS and My Dad's Got MS. The books help families talk about MS with children under 10. We are looking for mums, dads and children to help us include all the information you need from the new version. Let us know if you would be willing to help.
