Sequencing MS therapies – a changing landscape

December 17, 2019  

Comment by Dr. Virender Bhan – Senior neurologist, Burnaby/Vancouver, BC, Canada.

NeuroSens recently posted a survey on sequencing disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) in multiple sclerosis to investigate whether clinicians’ approaches have changed in the past 2-3 years. The current survey was a follow-up to a series of surveys conducted over a one-year period ending in December 2017 that accompanied an 8-part article on sequencing. (For a summary of those results see Are opinions changing on changing therapies in MS?, NeuroSens, October 22, 2019). Read More
