This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients may get some relief from severe fatigue from an experimental procedure to open blocked blood vessels in the chest and neck, suggests preliminary Stanford University research being presented at the 23rd annual International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy (ISET).

A year after doctors used either angioplasty or stents to open blocked veins of 30 MS patients, they suffered about half thefatigue, on average, than they had before the treatment, according to data being presented by Michael Dake, M.D., Thelma and Henry Doelger Professor in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, Calif.

Hurray Dr. Dake!! Always thinking and providing us with valuable data. I think I am one of the 30, how exciting!!
