The OSU Multiple Sclerosis Center is committed to providing the highest quality patient care, while performing basic, clinical and translational research with the ultimate goal of understanding disease and formulating better treatments.
OSU faculty collaborate from several departments on MS-related research projects including the departments of Radiology; Molecular Virology, Immunology and Medical Genetics; Pathology and Neurology.
Among our numerous research efforts aimed at improving care for those with MS are:
- Groundbreaking work imaging the central nervous system of patients with MS using our 8 Tesla MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
- Identifying a gene marker to help predict the severity of MS to enable physicians determine a course of treatment
- Examining the role of the body’s own immune system in MS development
- Conducting clinical trials of medications that show promise in treatment patients with MS.
For a listing of MS clinical trials, please visit the Department of Neurology website.
The Ohio State University MS Center is committed to improving the lives of MS patients through new treatments and innovative care. We continually initiate new clinical trials to help us meet this goal. Please view the Department of Neurology website to determine if you or someone you know may be eligible to participate in one of our clinical trials. Without research and research volunteers there will be no advancements against this disease.
