Menstrual fluid collected from tampons could one day provide a simple, noninvasive way to measure a biomarker of nerve damage and potentially track disease activity in neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers at Nextgen Jane, in collaboration with Siemens Healthineers, found that neurofilament light…
Between my tours with the Army, a new course was added to the curriculum for me to teach — a two-week basic combat skills course for support personnel. The logic was that if a mechanic or cook attached to a special forces team overseas ever…

A pilot clinical trial in the U.S. is enrolling people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) to test Setpoint Medical’s implantable nerve stimulation device, which is designed to reduce inflammation and promote myelin repair. The trial (NCT06796504) is enrolling up to 60 people, ages 22-50, and…
People in the U.S. with commercial insurance wait nearly 50 days on average for a first visit to neurologist, and average wait times are significantly longer, by about four days, for those with multiple sclerosis (MS), a study found. The number of neurologists in a…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disorder that occurs when the immune system accidentally attacks healthy parts of the central nervous system, including the nerves that connect the eyes to the brain, and those that control the muscles involved in eye movement. The post MS vision…
