If it sounds like we are hoping that this treatment will work, then you guessed right. We're not doctors, of course, but we still have hope that one day there will be a cure for MS. And if this is the cause of even a small number of people with this disease, then it should be explored.
Who's doing it and where?
The studies are continuing in several places. Here are just a few:
- Paolo Zamboni
Director of the Centre for Vascular Diseases, University of Ferrara, Ferrara (ITA), He discovered and described this condition in MS patients in Italy. - Dr. Michael Dake

He was the first surgeon to accept Prof. Paolo Zamboni’s suggestion to operate on stenosis associated with CCSVI - Dr. John Cooke, MD, PHD,
Professor of cardiovascular medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine - Robert Zivadinov
Director of the Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center, New York State University, Buffalo (USA)
