Many of you have been following the Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) media coverage since the W5 story aired in late November 2009. Since that time, there have been several important updates. The MS Society has been following CCSVI developments closely, and as soon as important updates come in, they are added to the website. Please click on the link above for more information.

The MS Society has recently announced CCSVI research funding.

BC Division has also created a page Questions to ask when considering CCSVI treatments to deal with your multiple sclerosis.

On April 7, 2010 the MS Society hosted a CCSVI web streaming event. If you missed this presentation please visit www.ccsvi.ca to register to receive the archived webcast.

If you have any other questions about accessing information about CCSVI, or about research and clinical trials in general, feel free to contact Cyndi Lion at 250-314-0773.
