Various media outlets reported on UBC research that showed “liberation therapy” for people with multiple sclerosis did not lead to a difference in the disease’s progression.
Anthony Traboulsee, a UBC neurology professor and director of the MS Clinic at the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, said he hopes the findings persuade people with MS not to undergo liberation therapy.
The story appeared in The Guardian, Science Daily, Philly.com, CBC, CTV, Global, Globe and Mail, Yahoo, Ottawa Citizen, Montreal Gazette, Vancouver Sun, The Province, National Post, and other Postmedia outlets, Medical Xpress, and Castanet.
Another CTV article mentioned research from UBC’s department of medical genetics that found a direct genetic link to multiple sclerosis.
