Description Multiple potential therapies are in various stages of development for both neuroprotection and remyelination trials in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS), but there are no such trials that target pediatric MS. Our preliminary data demonstrate that knowledge gained from adult studies cannot be directly translated into pediatric populations. The rarity of pediatric MS and the paucity of validated paradigms and outcomes threaten the ability to study such therapies in children.
