Center for Multiple Sclerosis

Center For Multiple Sclerosis

JWM Neurologists offer comprehensive care and expertise for patients who have Multiple Sclerosis and participate in MS clinical research trials.

Home•Services

Our goal at JWM Neurology is to offer comprehensive care for patients who have suspected or confirmed Multiple Sclerosis (MS). All of our neurologists are dedicated to diagnosing and treating MS as well as helping patients maintain their daily activities and improve their lives.

Our practice is very active in clinical research for MS. Through the work of neurologist Craig E. Herrman, MD, and his research staff, JWM Neurology has a dedicated Research Division that offers numerous clinical trials for many neurological conditions and sleep disorders. Regardless of the type of MS that patients have, there are various trials available. Patients who do not currently qualify for one of our trials will be given the option to be put on a list for future opportunities.

JWM Neurology has several studies ongoing. These encompass patients with relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis as well as those with a first clinical event – or even a more progressive course of the disease. Studies range from new disease-modifying agents to medications that will improve the everyday symptoms seen in MS. Our Clinical Research Manager, Kristina Cleveland, along with her staff, are dedicated to patient care and continuing to expand our JWM Neurology research opportunities.

Multiple Sclerosis Treatment

There are multiple treatment options currently available in the general market and in research studies as well as those currently awaiting FDA approval. Physicians treating MS will need to be able to balance the use of reliable “older” medicines with those coming to market.

It is an exciting time in the field of Multiple Sclerosis. Injections, oral medications, monthly infusions and even yearly infusions are potential options. However, with each mode of therapy there are clear drawbacks. Through the collective expertise of our neurologists at JWM Neurology, we are able to educate patients and make informed, joint decisions on the best treatment to pursue. Each patient will likely be different, and the treatment will not only differ based on potential side effects, but also on lifestyle and the particular variety of Multiple Sclerosis.
