Study Title: Combined Transcranial and Extracranial Venous Doppler evaluation in multiple sclerosis and related diseases (CTEVD study)
Purpose: Evaluating blood flood in MS patients, healthy controls, and controls with other neurological disorders.
Purpose: Evaluating blood flood in MS patients, healthy controls, and controls with other neurological disorders.
This study is to repeat and expand on the Italian study.
Here is an entire history of all the CCSVI studies around the world:
It has been compiled by Marie Rhodes, an RN with SPMS who had the procedure at Standford in May 2009. She is very up to date on this, and I can put you in touch with her.

======================================================
Stuart, you may wish to call and confirm this account from this post, but I know Dr Coyle (Stonybrook) atteneded Dr Zamboni's CCSVI conference in Italy Sept 2009, along with Dr Elliot Frohman from UTSM MS center. Both are directors of major MS centers, and published researchers. Both were impressed with the evidence from Zamboni's human trial (100 MS, 60 controls) that MS is caused by blocked jugulars, causing blood relfux to the brain, thus blood brain barrier breakage, then secondary autoimmune response to all the tissue damage. My appointment is already set at Stanford for Oct 26-27; if I'm like the 40+ other MS patients that have gone there, my jugulars will be found to be blocked, Dr Michael Dake will insert a stent, and I will finally be able to start recovery from 15 years of MS damage.

I have MS, diagnosed 9 years ago and recently had doppler of carotid... No blockage. Happy for my stroke risk but I don't fit in with this study group...
