Got spasticity? Trial opportunity for new drug.

[twopack]

There is a study presently recruiting PwMS to evaluate an investigational medication for the treatment of spasticity due to MS.  The drug is supposed to be similar to baclofen but require only twice a day dosing.

This one is nice because the age range keeps most of our more mature members eligible.  I have to pass on this one because I'm still trying to adjust the meds for the new and emerging diagnoses.  Need to work on one problem at a time you know.

I just did their preliminary survey and was told I might qualify but then it kicked me out because there isn't a site within 100 miles.  Too bad, because I figured I could sleep over at your house! LOL

Thanks for sharing this link - I keep hoping there will be a trial I can participate with.
