Today, we’re concluding an impactful few days at the 41st Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS), where we had the privilege of connecting with researchers and clinicians who share our commitment to advancing care for those living with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (#NMOSD). Our leading research in NMOSD, including a presentation recognised as part of this year’s “Best of ECTRIMS,” underscore our relentless drive to improve outcomes in this rare neurological disease. We also proudly showcased our short film, Rare Connections in NMOSD, highlighting the challenges of living with NMOSD, the power of connection and the resilience of the NMOSD community.
