Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials in New York, NY pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials in New York, NY work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Multiple Sclerosis trials in New York, NY 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in New York, NY for Multiple Sclerosis is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in New York, NY several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Multiple Sclerosis medical study in New York, NY?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials in New York, NY?

Most recently, we added AZD0120 for Multiple Sclerosis, Electromagnetic Resonance Therapy for Autoimmune Diseases and P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 for Multiple Sclerosis to the Power online platform.

What do the "Power Preferred" and "SuperSite" badges mean?

We recognize research clinics with these awards when they are especially responsive to patients who apply through the Power online platform. SuperSite clinics are research sites recognized for a high standard of rapid and thorough follow-up with patient applicants. Meanwhile, Power Preferred clinics are the top 20 across the entire Power platform, recognized for their absolute top patient experience.

Can MS go into remission?

Yes. In relapsing-remitting MS the immune attack can quiet down for weeks, months, or even years, letting symptoms ease or disappear; neurologists try to extend these quiet spells—called remission or “no evidence of disease activity” (NEDA)—with early use of disease-modifying drugs, healthy habits, and regular MRI checks. Remission isn’t a cure because slow nerve damage can still smolder, and it is uncommon in secondary- or primary-progressive MS, so sticking with treatment and follow-up appointments remains vital even when you feel well.

What is the most common cause of death in MS patients?

Death certificates show that the commonest “underlying” cause of death in people with MS is the disease itself (ICD-10 G35), accounting for roughly half of all deaths; this label usually stands for advanced disability complicated by infections and breathing problems. Cardiovascular disease and cancer trail well behind (each about one-tenth to one-fifth of deaths), so focusing on preventing aspiration, treating infections quickly, staying mobile, and managing heart-health risks offers the biggest leverage for living longer with MS.

What not to do if you have MS?

Think of “don’ts” in three buckets: 1) anything that drives inflammation (smoking, heavy drinking, high-salt or highly processed, high-saturated-fat foods); 2) anything that lets the body decondition or overheat (long periods of inactivity, extreme heat without cooling strategies); and 3) anything that interferes with treatment safety (skipping or delaying prescribed medicines, starting high-dose supplements or live vaccines, or stopping disease-modifying therapy without your neurologist’s okay). Steering clear of these pitfalls, while staying active, eating mostly whole foods, and working closely with your MS team, gives the best chance of slowing attacks and disability.

What is the new test for MS?

Doctors now have a spinal-fluid test called the “kappa free light-chain (KFLC) index,” which measures tiny antibody pieces instead of looking for oligoclonal bands. In several large studies it identified multiple sclerosis with about 90–95 % sensitivity and 85–90 % specificity, is run on an automated machine (so it’s faster, cheaper, and less subjective), and many centers are beginning to add it to the standard work-up, although it still requires a lumbar puncture and currently complements rather than fully replaces oligoclonal-band testing.

Is MS a disability?

Multiple sclerosis is recognized by disability laws in the U.S., U.K., Canada and many other countries, but you are considered “disabled” only if your specific symptoms—such as fatigue, vision loss, or mobility problems—limit everyday tasks or steady work despite treatment. Because MS progression varies widely (some stay mild for decades while roughly one-third need a cane within 15 years), keep detailed medical records and talk with your neurologist, employer, or a benefits adviser early to document limitations, request job accommodations, or file for disability support if needed.

How many brain lesions are normal with MS?

There isn’t a “normal” or required lesion count for multiple sclerosis: some people have none on the first MRI, others show a handful, and studies put the typical range at roughly 5–15 lesions. What matters more to doctors is where the spots are and whether new ones appear over time—four or more lesions, especially in key areas like around the ventricles, can raise concern for future disability, but prognosis depends on the pattern and evolution rather than any single number.

Has anyone reversed MS?

So far no treatment has reliably “turned MS off” for everyone, but limited reversal of disability can occur. Many patients regain some or all lost function after a relapse, and small clinical trials of autologous stem-cell transplantation show that about 50-70 % of carefully selected, highly active cases improve their disability scores for several years, though the procedure carries notable risks and is not yet routine care. Current disease-modifying drugs aim to prevent new damage, and research into remyelination medicines is underway, but a guaranteed, widely available way to reverse MS does not yet exist.

Are MS cases on the rise?

Yes, the head-count of people living with multiple sclerosis is climbing worldwide—up roughly one-third since 1990—largely because people are being diagnosed earlier and living longer with the disease. New cases per year (incidence) have risen only modestly and unevenly, suggesting that improved detection and better treatments, rather than an explosive growth in risk, account for most of the increase, though lifestyle factors such as low vitamin D, obesity, smoking and EBV infection may also play a smaller role.

Does MS run in families?

MS can cluster in families, but it is not passed down in a simple all-or-nothing way: the lifetime chance is about 1 in 300 for anyone, rises to roughly 1 in 30 (≈2–3 %) if you have a parent, child, or sibling with MS, and even identical twins match only about 1 in 4 times—proof that genes are only part of the story. Because most relatives never develop the disease, routine genetic testing isn’t recommended; instead, general health steps that may lower risk (adequate vitamin D, avoiding smoking, healthy weight) are sensible for everyone.

What is the progressive treatment for MS?

Treatment for progressive MS has two parts. First, disease-modifying drugs such as ocrelizumab (for primary-progressive) and siponimod or, in some cases, cladribine/rituximab (for active secondary-progressive) can slow further disability when started early under an MS specialist’s care. Second, an ongoing personalised plan—physiotherapy and exercise, medicines for spasticity, pain, bladder or fatigue, plus good sleep, diet, vaccination and prompt treatment of infections—helps control day-to-day symptoms and prevents complications, with regular reviews to adjust both pieces as the condition evolves.
