For people with MS wishing to get directly involved and participate in research into MS, there are many different ways to participate, ranging from completing a short survey to participating in a clinical trial.
The Australian MS Longitudinal Study (AMSLS) is a survey-based research study that has been running since 2001 and now has over 3000 people completing research surveys each year.
The MS Australia Clinical Trials Network was established in 2010 to facilitate the clinical trials process for MS in Australia and New Zealand and increase awareness and access to clinical trials for people with MS and other demyelinating diseases.
The primary objective of the MS Australia Brain Bank is to coordinate the collection, storage and use of human post-mortem tissue from people with multiple sclerosis (MS) for use in research.
