OUR VISION: The Vision of the NARCOMS/Global Patient Registry is to facilitate multi-center research in the field of multiple sclerosis (MS). We strive to develop collaboration between centers of excellence in MS throughout the world to increase knowledge, leading to improved clinical care and quality of life for MS patients.
OUR GOALS:
- Facilitate a confidential way for patients to supply valuable information to researchers about their course of disease that may lead to more effective treatments and care for people living with MS, while reducing the time and cost of conducting studies.
- Provide a worldwide research resource for people living with multiple sclerosis so they can provide information about themselves and their course of disease.
- Develop new collaborations between researchers, patients, and healthcare providers to:
- Increase knowledge of effective treatment
- Increase high quality healthcare services
- Raise awareness of MS
- Promote greater understanding about MS
- Increase peer reviewed publications
The NARCOMS Registry is an active database of over 34,000 individuals who have MS. It was developed in 1993 by the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) to provide a way for individuals with MS to confidentially provide detailed information on their course of disease as well as their treatment. We are seeking to raise awareness about MS and increase the enrollment numbers in the Registry to help us further research efforts and eventually find the cure.
