Treatment of the relapsing form of multiple sclerosis has come a long way in recent years. The hope by researchers now is that treatment for progressive multiple sclerosis could be coming up sooner rather than later.

Alan J. Thompson, MD, FRCP, from University College in London discussed how work to finding treatment has progressed.
