¿Hay a la vista un gran avance para los pacientes con esclerosis múltiple (EM)? ¿Van a reanudar las vidas que tenían antes de que la EM hubiera provocado sus estragos y asolado sus cuerpos? Los investigadores esperan que así sea.

Después de meses de expectación en la comunidad mundial de EM, hoy se publicaron los resultados del estudio de la Universidad de Búfalo sobre la CCSVI. Aunque puedan no ser tan espectaculares como algunos pacientes hubieran esperado, los resultados muestran una clara relación entre las anomalías vasculares conocidas como CCSVI y la esclerosis múltiple.

Press release February 9, 2010, University at Buffalo

BUFFALO, N.Y. – More than 55 percent of multiple sclerosis patients entered in the initial phase of the first randomized clinical study to determine if persons with MS exhibit narrowing of the extracranial veins causing restriction of normal outflow of blood from the brain were found to have the abnormality, neurology researchers at the University at Buffalo have found.

When the 10.2 percent of subjects in which results were border line were excluded, the percentage of affected MS patients rose to 62.5 percent, preliminary results show, compared to 25.9 percent of healthy controls.

These preliminary results are based on the first 500 participants in the Combined Transcranial and Extracranial Venous Doppler Evaluation (CTEVD) study, which began at UB in April 2009. Investigators are planning to examine 500 additional subjects, who will be assessed in the second phase of the study with more advanced diagnostic tools. Complete data on the first 500 will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology meeting in April.

Prof. Robert Zivadinov published a first report about the CCSVI Study of  Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center (BNAC).
