Looking Ahead

This is a promising time for individuals who have been diagnosed with MS. Since the early 1990s, treatment options have gone from zero to six and many more therapeutic agents are on their way. Among others, MS drugs under investigation include cancer-fighting drugs, antiviral medications, vaccines, bone marrow transplants, pregnancy-related hormones, cholesterol-fighting drugs, stem cells, and agents such as growth factors that may repair myelin. Regeneration, neuroprotection, and gene therapy are also being explored.
