Sibyl E. Wray, MD, From Hope Neurology Multiple Sclerosis Center discussed the results of the survey and what it could mean to treatment of the condition in the future during the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting in Washington DC. The survey consisted of more than 900 patients and more than 900 doctors. Wray said more than 97% of doctors believe patients should be more involved in the decision making process. "They're more invested in their care when they help make the decision," she said.
