Within the scope

Scientific research is still being done on the CCSVI theory. The relation between CCSVI and the origin of MS has not yet been indisputably proved. At the moment this treatment is only offered outside The Netherlands. Prescan would like to offer MS patients the opportunity to undergo the treatment closer to home.
