Every day in the United States, a person is diagnosed with MS. But not every day does a 16-year-old receive that diagnosis. Cody Bryan of Menomonie, a sophomore at Menomonie High School, learned last summer that he has multiple sclerosis, a disease that affects the central nervous system, made up of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. Diagnosed at Rochester Hospital in Minnesota, Cody endured a week of treatments to help him regain feeling in his left arm and to stop the growth of lesions on his brain and spinal cord. He underwent a spinal tap, an MRI, X-Rays of his chest and numerous blood tests. Now he gives himself injections three times a week. But Cody is persevering and remains a typical teenage boy. His family says he loves listening to Bill Joel records and looks forward to getting his drivers license. Symptoms of MS can be unpredictable, making the disease even more of a challenge with which to live. Because nerves are affected, MS interupts the flow of information between the brain and the body, and movement can be difficult or cease altogether. Symptoms range from the mild numbness and tingling in the limbs to the severe, … Continue reading →

ROCHESTER, Minn. & ARDSLEY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mayo Clinic and Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACOR) today announced that the first patient has been enrolled in the first clinical trial of rHIgM22, a remyelinating antibody being studied for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). This is a Phase 1 clinical trial enrolling people with MS to assess the safety and tolerability of rHIgM22. The study also includes several exploratory efficacy measures. This remyelinating antibody, if successful in clinical trials and approved, would be a novel approach to treating people with chronic neurologic deficits from multiple sclerosis or other similar conditions In MS, a persons own immune system destroys myelin, a substance that insulates nerves and facilitates conduction of nerve impulses that control neurological function such as movement and vision. Progressive damage to myelin causes functional impairment in people with MS. Currently there are no approved therapies that stimulate the repair or regrowth of myelin once it has been damaged. This remyelinating antibody, if successful in clinical trials and approved, would be a novel approach to treating people with chronic neurologic deficits from multiple sclerosis or other similar conditions, said Moses Rodriguez, M.D., a neurologist specializing in MS at the Mayo Clinic, whose team … Continue reading →

Apr. 19, 2013 Research presented Friday aims to find an effective treatment for the two million Americans suffering annually from moderate-to-severe heel pain. John J. Wilson, MD, MS, AMSSM member, presented his research on plantar fasciitis entitled, "Platelet-Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Chronic Plantar Fasciopathy in Adults: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial" on Friday, April 19, 2013 at the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine's 22nd Annual Meeting in San Diego, Cal. Dr. Wilson and his colleagues are currently conducting a randomized controlled clinical trial investigating platelet-rich plasma injection for the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is a musculoskeletal disorder affecting the plantar fascia origin and is the most common cause of heel pain in adults. Plantar fasciitis is an important cause of pain and disability among athletes, but also prevalent in the general population, especially sedentary individuals, with previous research estimating two million Americans affected annually. Few studies have assessed PRP as a treatment for plantar fasciitis, and no single study has assessed the degree of correlation between the clinical, biomechanical and ultrasound features of plantar fasciitis in response to therapy. The overall goal of this research is to find an effective treatment for moderate-to-severe chronic … Continue reading →
