    Octopus is a new clinical trial for people living with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), which is designed and run by the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL.Thanks to its multi-arm multi-stage platform design, Octopus has the potential to transform the way treatments for progressive MS are tested. The trial is now open in the UK and will be recruiting participants for the next few years. The podcast mini-series will explore the trial from different perspectives by talking to neurologists, MS experts and people affected by MS. Part 1 covers the treatment and research landscape of MS and the challenges of treating progressive MS. It features Jeremy Chataway, neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery at UCLH, and Professor of Neurology at UCL, and co-lead of the Neurodegenerative Diseases programme at the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL, who is leading the Octopus trial. We also hear from Dawn Lyle, Lead Research MS Nurse, and Matthew Justin, MS Specialist, who are based at the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurologic Clinic in Edinburgh.

    An athlete with Multiple Sclerosis keeps on moving.

    An athlete with Multiple Sclerosis keeps on moving.

    Nearly 1 million people are living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the United States. More women are diagnosed with the disease and colder climates can be a contributing factor. MS can be a very tricky disease to diagnose, but quick treatment can help to slow the progression of the disease. 
    UConn Medical Center's neurologist Dr. Hamza Coban explains the different types of MS and why a positive mindset can be very helpful. Marisa Goldsmith is his patient, and she fights for her mobility every day. Marisa says MS doesn't define who she is, and being an athlete has helped her tremendously.

    Taking your health into your own hands with Mirella Petrucci (+ real life miracles!)

    Taking your health into your own hands with Mirella Petrucci (+ real life miracles!)

    At 31 years old, Mirella Petrucci was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Living a life that she had always considered healthy, Mirella and her husband were not only shocked, but devastated. Rather than allowing MS to determine what kind of life she was going to live, Mirella took charge of her health and instead, became her own doctor. Combining integrative and holistic practices along with varied detox methods, Mirella has not only transformed her health from the inside out but is now recovering from MS. 

    Jade also shares the synchronicities that have taken place in her life since the beginning of 2023 and demonstrates how some of life's most painful times are only moments away from pure magic.
