MS Research: What does the “cure” mean to you?
For people living with multiple sclerosis the “cure” means different things to different people. For people who have just been diagnosed, the cure will stop MS in its tracks. For people who have lived with MS and have experienced loss of mobility and other serious impairments, the cure means repair of the nervous system and recovery of lost functions.
For people with a family history of MS, the cure will allow their children or grandchildren to live a life free from MS.
The research funded by the MS Society addresses all three definitions of a cure. Research is multi-faceted but with clear purpose:
* to find a cure for MS,
* protect the nervous system and repair damage caused by MS, and
* improve monitoring and management of the disease.
