Hi Inge-
There are no medications that can fix a venous malformation like we are seeing in MS patients. The veins are literally crimped or collapsed. Only surgery can correct this.
This thread is for research only-please post questions by starting a new topic, or use the search function to see if your question has been answered before-

Maybe this will seem like a really dumb question, but, how do we know that this is going to help? I mean, having a stent put into an artery? This is supposed to affect inflammation in the brain and spine? Why are people having this done? Is there research to show that it works? If there is then that's great, but how do we know that this is going to help? Are there clinical trials that have shown this to be beneficial?

Ewizabeth,

It is not the arteries. CCSVI deals with the veins. Start by reading the stickies. These questions have been asked and answered many times on this forum.

Thanks Maggie,

I did some reading and this really is interesting! I'm going to ask the MS neuro about it at the end of October and get his take on it. :)

Haacke MR prot.

Post by thisisalex »

Hi

I looked for the Haacke protocol, and a direct google search on the site (search string was: "pdf site:ms-mri.com" came up with a really great stuff. It looks like it is the detailed description of the Haacke MR protocol with detailed notes, historical connections, even about the processing of the collected data...

shortened URL

sorry if this is only new for me, but i didnt read about this document before here on the forum...

Thanks thisisalex, I haven't seen this more detailed prprpsal from Haacke.

Here is a post, that has links to the Haacke protocol, which are still on his server.

Where to get MRV protocol - http://www.thisisms.com/ftopict-9107.html

If all MS patients reuired this protocol be done as part of their annual MRI scan, we'd have an answer about how many MS patients have jugular stenosis.

broken link

Post by taxi »

hello! this is my first post so I would like to give my huge thanks and gratitude to to everyone here for what they've done. I'm here on behalf of my wife who was diagnosed with RRMS about 9 months ago (but has probably had it for about 5 years). I'll reserve my comments for later because I wanted simply to report a broken link in the research section.

the link is the big one "Zamboni presentation 2006 The big idea: iron dependant inflammation in venous disease an proposed parallels in MS" which points to http://www.physics.ubc.ca/~rauscher/labproject.pdf - unfortunately this links to a 404.

A quick google gives the following page:

http://jrsm.rsmjournals.com/cgi/content/full/99/11/589

As I never saw the original paper I'm not certain that this is the same thing, but it looks like a good alternative link since it's HTML with a PDF option.

thanks again to everyone!

cheers
