What We Offer


Personalized, Multidisciplinary Care

Our neurologists develop individualized treatment plans using advanced diagnostic tools and the most current therapies. Care may include disease-modifying treatments, symptom management, and coordinated rehabilitation services tailored to each patient’s needs.

Nurses provide education and ongoing support related to medications, symptom management, and daily living with MS. Clinical social workers offer individualized guidance and help patients and families navigate emotional, cognitive, and practical challenges associated with the disease.

Infusion Therapy

Research and Clinical Trials

Research is a core mission of the MS Center. Our clinical, translational, and basic science programs focus on limiting disability, restoring function, and advancing new treatments for multiple sclerosis. Patients may have opportunities to participate in clinical trials evaluating novel therapies designed to slow disease progression and promote repair.

Our research spans neuroscience, immunology, genetics, and advanced imaging, including efforts to better visualize axons and myelin and to develop regenerative strategies for MS.

Head Trauma and risk of Multiple Sclerosis

I have been asked by patients if their prior history of trauma brought on their MS. It was interesting to read this article on childhood head trauma and risk of subsequent diagnosis of multiple sclerosisIn this study, the authors systematically analyzed longitudinally collected data from the national Swedish registry to look for a possible association between head trauma in childhood and adolescence and risk of subsequent multiple sclerosis. This is the largest study yet that examined...

Sexual Dimorphism of the Blood Brain Barrier and its relevance to MS

MS, along with many other neurological diseases, is partially characterized by permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This barrier is comprised of blood vessels and associated cells that are responsible for tightly controlling precisely what nutrients, proteins, and other molecules are granted access to the privileged environment of the brain. While the role of the BBB in health and disease is widely accepted, we still have much to learn about how it typically protects the central...
