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.

Numb Hands

I have been experiencing numbness in the fingers of my right hand for a few years. I have also lost some dexterity. This is a sad situation because I make a lot of things with my hands—and I am right handed. One day I started making a large papier mache hand without thinking about it, without realizing that it was possibly to do with my struggles. It wasn’t until I made the fingers very blocky and large (the way mine feel) and added bumps to indicate my arthritis, that I realized it was a...

Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (BTKi) in Multiple Sclerosis

BTKis target a group of proteins found on a variety of immune cells involved in the pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), including mediators of inflammation locally in the Central Nervous System (CNS). By targeting these proteins, the hope is that these medications will be able to decrease the activation of immune cells within the central nervous system directly, and could prevent inflammatory activity in people with MS. BTKis have several theoretical advantages over some of the current...
