This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

There as been a few trials now conducted where researchers have compared the narrowing of veins in patients diagnosed with MS and what they deem to be healthy individuals. These health individuals have been related and unrelated to patients. The testing criteria of either ultra sound/venoplasty or a combination of both was used to define their vein narrowing.

What I'm curious about is. Does anyone know or is aware of one of these so called healthy individuals who after receiving this vein narrowing diagnosis, went on to seek vein widening treatment. And if so did they receive any benefits or feel any different after treatment?

I don't think it would be ethical to perform a procedure on a perfectly healthy person.

Dr. Dake said that he was approached by a patient with lyme disease to perform liberation, and he refused as there are no reports on an association between lyme and CCSVI.
