The MS Register will revolutionise our understanding of MS and finally put MS on the map.
The MS Register is the world's first register to gather information from you – the person who lives with MS – with clinical and NHS data. (External) Join the MS Register .
Clinical trials and studies test whether new treatments, from drugs to physiotherapy, are safe and effective or better than what's already available.

Research studies can test new measures to prevent or diagnose illness, like using MRI scans to diagnose MS, or new methods of patient care.

The MS Society Tissue Bank allows both people with and without MS to donate their brain and spinal cord tissue after their death, helping researchers to understand MS damage and find more effective treatments.

The Research Network helps us make sure that the research we fund reflects the needs and interests of people living with MS. It also helps us make sure we are communicating research in a way that’s accessible to everyone in the MS community.

"As a person with MS I feel that the advent of the Research Network offers the Society a truly inclusive approach to the appraisal of grant applications, in which all views are considered to create a truly holistic vision."
