It has been recently discovered by Dr. Chris Power, and a team of researchers from Alberta Innovates Health Solutions, that individuals suffering from Multiple Sclerosis lack neurosteroids in their brain and therefore, if they are given the same then it could become their call for life.
Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that directly attacks the brain and spinal cord, and further roots inflammation and damage that can result either into paralysis or sometimes blindness as well.
If the treatment succeeds, then researchers will be introduced to a whole new field in MS and will be able to understand it in a better way. Also, they will get an effective treatment to the disease.
As told by Dr. Power: "We're a ways away from actually implementing it in the clinic, but we're certainly talking about clinical trials amongst our colleagues".
Earlier also, neurosteroids have been safely used for curing other kinds of brains diseases and this is something that has made the doctors optimistic about getting the approval for making clinical trials in the near future.
It has been found that with help of neurosteroids, brain cells try to talk, grow and repair themselves. And this way, damaged cells or part of the body and brain also tend to recover.
