What's the outlook for someone with progressive ms nowadays?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: As of this moment there are several agents that have slowed the progression of progressive MS during the duration of the clinical trials. Wether they will be as effective in the long term remains to be established. In one study of MS patients the median time from diagnosis to needing a cane was 28 years. The median time for progressive MS would be less than 28 years.
