Here it is! What we have been waiting for. It is not yet recruiting but at least clinical trials will be starting.
http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/N...m=ccsvi&rank=1 Study To Evaluate Treating Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) in Multiple Sclerosis Patients This study is not yet open for participant recruitment. Verified by The Vascular Group, PLLC, March 2010 First Received: March 17, 2010 No Changes Posted Estimated Enrollment: 500 Study Start Date: April 2010 Estimated Study Completion Date: April 2012 Estimated Primary Completion Date: April 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) Intervention Details: Procedure: Angioplasty To identify the presence of CCSVI, all patients will undergo a clinical evaluation by a neurologist, a duplex ultrasound of central extracranial venous system, an MRV, and a venogram. The decision to enroll patient in percutaneous angioplasty for CCSVI will be made at the time of venogram, in select patients that have greater than or equal to 50 percent stenosis of the extracranial central veins including the internal jugular veins and the azygos vein. Extracranial venous ultrasound will be performed at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months following the procedure or if clinical symptoms recur. MRV and venograms will be performed at 12months and 24 months or if clinical symptoms recur. See link to FDA for more..
