Hi Coman, There are a number of treatments being tried for controlling multiple sclerosis. I'm giving you websites below that discuss one or more options. All of them are standard treatments that are done with the supervision of a hospital and/or private physician. I found them on the MedlinePlus health topic for multiple sclerosis (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/multiplesclerosis.html). MedlinePlus is a service of the US National Library of Medicine that collects websites from governmental and private non-profit groups. National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS): Chemotherapy http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Sourcebook-Chemotherapy.asp NMSS: Treatments - Medications Used in MS http://www.nationalmssociety.org//Medications%20Used%20in%20MS.asp This goes over the major drugs that are used for the treatment of MS. Here's a brochure about deciding to use drugs, also from the NMSS: http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Brochures-PuttingBrakes.asp NMSS: Plasmapheresis (Plasma Exchange) http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Sourcebook-Plasmapheresis.asp Note: this treatment is still being investigated, and appears to have limited use in specific cases/conditions. The Cleveland Clinic: Deep Brain Stimulation for Movement Disorders http://www.clevelandclinic.org/health/health-info/docs/0900/0953.asp There are also 17 studies currently recruiting patients for new methods of evaluating and treating MS. Several of these are focused on pediatric MS. They are available from ClinicalTrials.gov at http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct/gui/action/FindCondition?ui=D009103&recruiting=true You'll have noticed that most of these sites are from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. They have an excellent discussion of early-onset MS (pediatric MS): http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Pediatric_and_Childhood.asp. Please let me know if I can assist you further with this question (or any other), Librariankt |

Hi, I happen to work for the Blue Bird Clinic for Pediatric Neurology at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston Texas. We are starting an M.S. clinic in the next month or so. The doctor you want to make an appointment with is Dr. Tim Lotze. Call 832-822-5046, hit option 3 and ask for Sarina Fulcher. There are three other programs currently in the U.S. who treat children with M.S. Texas Children's Hospital is the 5th best Pediatic hospital in the U.S. It is located at 6621 Fannin St. Houston, Texas 77030. We have isolated 300 children in Texas with M.S. We will be doing extensive research in this area. Hope this helps a little. Please access our website at www.texaschildrenshospital.org Go to the Blue Bird Clinic and you will find a video that will enable you to see all the services the Blue Bird Clinic has to offer. Good luck. |

Yes, Stonybrook is one of the other clinics. You will be impressed with Dr. Lotze. Ask for Peggy Norman so I can meet you. See you soon. |
