HOW CAN YOU HELP

The University at Buffalo needs your help to complete the diagnostic Combined Transcranial and Extracranial Venous Doppler (CTEVD) study in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and other related diseases.

CTEVD is a comprehensive study of 1,700 participants which is already under way. Our goal is to raise up to $5 million to support this ground-breaking research.

Researchers are using information from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and of neck veins to test the controversial chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) theory.  They will also study the results of 1,700 Doppler/ultrasound tests monitoring the rate of blood flow to and from the brain.  In addition, using blood samples, they will look at genetic and environmental factors that may cause MS and they will review each participant’s answers to a detailed environmental questionnaire. Subjects in this unfunded study will have a clinical examination by an MS Specialist from the Baird MS Center, part of the Jacobs Neurological Institute, University of Buffalo.

With your help, we can complete the study.
The results may change the way we understand MS!
