Episode 330: Revisiting How the Proposed Framework for Researching, Diagnosing, and Treating MS Will Affect You with Prof. Tanja Kuhlmann and Dr. Tim Coetzee

This week, I'm revisiting the proposal from the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS that recommended adopting a new framework that leverages what scientists are continuing to learn about MS and redefines how we talk about MS, how we research MS, how we diagnose MS, and how we treat MS. This proposed framework holds the promise of taking MS care to the next level.

This new framework was first proposed in a paper published in November 2022, and last January, I spoke with the lead author of that paper, Professor Tanja Kuhlmann. We discussed why an international panel of distinguished MS experts was recommending changing something that has been in place for decades.

The following week, I reached out to the National MS Society's Chief Advocacy, Services, and Science Officer, Dr. Tim Coetzee, and we talked about how this new framework for describing MS would impact people living with MS.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
