Scientists at the University of Colorado are testing an experimental approach for multiple sclerosis (MS) that uses electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve to potentially boost the brain’s ability to rewire itself and make rehabilitation more effective. The trial (NCT06641271) is enrolling by invitation at the Clinical…

Scientists have created a “mini-brain” model, the size of a grain of rice, from human stem cells that can mimic multiple sclerosis (MS)-related damage and repair, offering a new avenue for testing drugs that restore the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers. The 3D spheroid model contains human nerve cells…

Quantum Biopharma is collaborating with Thermo Fisher Scientific to prepare a Phase 2 clinical trial of Lucid-MS, an experimental oral therapy designed to slow myelin loss, in people with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Under the agreement, Thermo Fisher’s PPD clinical research business will support…

A brief, personalized neuropsychological rehabilitation program may help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) manage cognitive difficulties, according to a feasibility study. Participants reported improvements in their ability to use cognitive strategies, plan daily activities, and cope with fatigue. The study (ISRCTN11203922)Â showed that the program, called Neuropsychological Evaluation and…
