Have any of you ever taken part in drug trials ?

I havnt myself, although I’ve never been asked. I’m not sure what my response would be. That brings me to my next question. Are there any “game changer” close to if not a cure drugs in trials at the moment ?

@Irish34 Yes, I have. I'm on my second clinical trial. If you are interested in what trials are available, check out the MS charity websites. You need to show an interest in attending a trial, you are rarely asked. Define "cure". The best the medical profession can offer is NEDA (no evidence of disease activity), a way to slowing or halting relapses, therefore slowing or halting symptoms and disability. If you would like to know what is on the horizon regarding new drugs for MS then I would suggest you subscribe to Multiple Sclerosis News Toady, an American publication (via email) which has up to date information. ECTRIMS is happening in September this year which is where neurologists from around the world get together and discuss new research, results of clinical trials etc. There seems to be more work being done for people with SPMS and PPMS, which is good news.
