From Episode 350 of the RealTalkMS podcast with John Strum from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. May 2024

There are more than 20 disease-modifying therapies available to treat MS today. Some are considered high-efficacy, some are considered moderately effective, and each has its own risk profile and side effects to consider. So, how do you choose?

How much homework should someone living with MS do? Where should you look for reliable information? And what if you and your neurologist don't necessarily agree?

Dr. Barbara Giesser joins John Strum of the RealTalkMS podcast from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to talk about your role when it comes to choosing the right DMT through shared decision-making with your neurologist. An internationally recognized clinician and award-winning educator, Dr. Giesser has specialized in the care of people with multiple sclerosis since 1982, a full decade before there was even a single disease-modifying therapy available to treat MS.
