Disability Progression and Aging in People with MS

Aug 8, 2022 · 26m 5s

Age appears to be a strong predictor of MS disease activity. With increasing age, relapse frequency and new inflammatory MRI lesions decline, and the accumulation of neurological disability accelerates. Also, there is a relative lack of efficacy of disease modifying therapies in people with progressive MS. Join Dr. Olaf Stuve to discuss disease progression in MS and options for people with a progressive disease course.

@H. Shopping, Two recommended articles for more information are “Rituximab in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis: results of a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter trial” (Ann Neurol. 2009 Oct;66(4):460-71) and “Ocrelizumab versus Placebo in Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis” (N Engl J Med. 2017 Jan 19;376(3):209-220). You can find the full version of both manuscripts in PubMed.

@Rooster Caine Thank you! The National MS Society recently did a podcast for Veterans on anxiety and PTSD. The speaker was from the VA. You can view the podcast at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBC7QnEU64U.

Well done next I would love to hear the effects of past physical trauma has on multiple sclerosis.

I'm interested in learning more about some studies that Dr. Stuve mentioned. The name was spoken quite quickly. It sounded like Dr. Viviana Vilikova but I can't find it in a quick search. Are there any links to the study and others mentioned here?
